An Ocean Apart

An Ocean Apart
She merely stood there, sad, forlorn
Missing her love, her poor heart torn
Distant her gaze, lost to the west
A fading vision so weighs her chest
A thousand years seems have gone by
Her love has left, she wonders why
Cursing her fortune, so cruel and mean
Her poor soul yearns for what has been
Gazing upon the velvet, twilight sky
A mute, lone tear escapes her eye
Memories of laughter and sweet embrace
Now distant echoes in time and space
Her heart a canvas of shattered dreams
Love's tender chords, torn at the seams
In the stony silence of the fading day
She yearns her love that's gone away
He sails the oceans, so vast and deep
She sees him toiling, awake, asleep
A stalwart sailor sailing the seas
So far away to hear her pleas
And as the stars adorn the sky
She spreads her wings, ready to fly
Her spirit slips, hovers above
Yonder to soar to reach her love
Tis like a dream, she's in a trance
Aloft she travels in the dark expanse
Hopeful she flies through the night
A chance for lovers to lastly reunite
As night dons black his heart to match
A lonely sailor sulks upon his watch
Bemused, he beholds a star so bright
It draws so near, might be a sprite?
They find each other in the dark
No need for words their souls to hark
Amidst the shadows, whispers thrive
A promise to keep their love alive
