Slivered
These past few centuries have changed me, She whispered into the
deepened waves at our feet
Our lives have crossed over and over the boundaries of time
The broken hearts stay awashed on the shore
I hand Her the poem I wrote a hundred years ago..
The tears and salt cascading to my lips
as I try to smile at the setting of the sun
Time is irrelevant for us, I remind Her
There is no clock along the beaches of my soul and You're here now
Your heart ticks
and my heart talks
We hold hands while You read the tides and words that will forever
wash Us clean
