Ships in the Sand
Do you ever miss our desert ships?
Now that you have become silent
as a soundless sea
and I am left stranded without sails
among the shifting sands
and no where to go.
It scorches my flesh,
this absence and I yearn for even
the cold distance of your touch
in place of this abandonment,
where the winds would bury me
and over time only bones will be found
and the dried out old hull in decay.
But if ever you happened to pass
by this way again and you saw,
you would know, you could read the invisible
signs that no one else would understand,
it would be our joke, and silently we would laugh.
Because you know
the world for us has already changed forever
and there is no going back to a time
before, we have made impact
and that cannot be withdrawn,
I will follow you wherever you go.
