Gone.
As each ebbing tide seaward out-pours
and leaves its remembered love
in cove\'s hidden places,
as the breakers meet sand on shores
before sighing on withdrawal
her thoughts turn to gone embraces.
As life\'s rollers drag mood heedlessly
back thru\' change unforeseen
to where duo pleasure once dwelt
moving tides lend no release
from the shock of sudden rejection
or chance for digesting farewells.
