Along The Shore
by Fred Miller
A pixie shower of stars sparkles in the mists that lie over
the blue-green breakers on the shore where I take a morning
walk. I am reminded of a bright light in my heart that
fills my memories with cherished times we spent together.
Soon rays of a new days sun will glorify the shore
with a rhapsody of rainbows, a reminder that,
though the steps I take in these sands may fade,
the vows we treasured are moored in my heart.
The widespread white wings on the gulls above shimmer
in the blue morning air as they wheel about in stately
pavanes. And I think of those moments of happiness
we were certain would remain forever and a day.
Yet the timeless tides portend bright omens of abiding hope
for me. I find comfort knowing a day will come when
once again, we will be together laughing and teasing and knowing
a thousand, thousand days will never, ever keep us apart again.
