ALONG THESE SHORES:- A Familiar Path

Today I walk a familiar path,
along the deep oceans' sandy shores.
and you are with me, as you were yesterday.....
like the sun peering through heavens' open doors

I smiled, and walked with you..
reminiscing our laughs, our moments, oh how real it could be
Again the seagulls and the waves laugh at me..
ridiculing my everyday insanity.

As i walked on, deeper and deeper I stepped..
into our memories, and I welcomed you home.
I feel your presence and relive moments of having you here...
still here, by my side and I'm not alone.

Alone no more, but soon I'll be,
for my walk, like yesterday, is at its end.
Again the sun was saying goodbye...
you, were saying goodbye again.

As i looked out at the setting sun..
it made my eyes draw tears.
As i blinked, the tears reminded me...
that you've been gone for years.

Those years I've walked along these shores,
a walk, both heartwarming and heartbreaking, ironically.
A walk that'll seem to last, and go on forever...
yet will always end too soon, unfortunately.

For every time I walk and bask in the feeling,
of having you again, I dread the sunsets' trend
For when it comes, as it did, as it will always..
My walk ends, and I lose you again...again... and again.

A sad reluctant bid to the sun, to you..
as heaven slowly closed its' doors
Felt a familiar pain, loneliness, when i looked back..
and saw one set of footprints on the open shores.

Yet everyday, I'll walk these shores
It's where i seek and have you again.
It's where even though by sunset...
I'll lose you all over in the end.

Glad the waves stopped roaring,
and the seagulls are all gone.
But gone again was the sun..
and so were you, again, so long...

Having you to lose you , again
an everyday experience, I can't evade.
For since the waves.. the sun.. took you away,
My heart made it an inevitable trade.

Today I walk a familiar path,
         and you are here with me, till the end
               as you were yesterday,
                      along these shores again............
