Once and Nevermore

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

Walking in a shoreline trodden by tears
Makes it not a wonder
Why the sea is salty
And sometimes even bitter.

With every step
It disappears behind
Leaving not a trace
To grace the memory of time.

To think
Of what came before
This filthy pair of feet
Of the thousands that drowned.

Makes it a wonder
Why the ocean
So calm and serene
In dusk’s full grandeur.
