Rising Wave

I walked out onto the jetty

Swung my feet over the side

I sat there in my silence,

With the forever moving tide.

It took me to all our disagreements

Along with all the strife

As I watched the waves crest over

But then reincarnate new life.

If the tides forever turning

And waves come back to rise

Why were we so quick my dear,

To cut away our ties.

I wish recovery had been sooner,

Just before we met,

But the next time you see a rising wave,

Don’t forget me yet.
