Time and Space
I look up, into the night sky,
as I stand at the bedroom door.
Telling myself not to cry,
I bravely step out to the ocean's roar.
A full moon, with it's golden glow,
softens the darkness of night.
Reflecting upon the waves below,
creating a glittering light.
Nature designs a beautiful view.
I can see but my heart does not feel.
It allows no light to filter through,
shadowed memories to conceal.
I have stood in this same place,
many times through the years.
Love lived in that time and space,
now, it is filled with tears.
I would feel him come up behind me,
and then wrap me in his arms.
One silhouette overlooking the ocean,
a moment in time, beguiling charms.
Bathed in the light of the moon,
he whispered softly into my hair.
Words of love, he would croon,
of the lifetime we would share.
I close my eyes and turn away.
I relive this moment, but now alone.
No one to touch, no words to say.
Time and space, no longer my own.
