I etched her name into the sand
and engraved it crystal clear
but soon the tide did understand
and washed away what I felt dear.
The waves kiss the shore with grace
and embraced what my heart felt true
yet they washed away her dear trace
of the memories that time did sew.
For she, whose essence the elements defy
had pierced my heart that I still adore.
The seas may swell and fiercely cry,
yet her name in me will hum forevermore.
Though time may steal away what was writ,
and the waves erase what they have wrought,
Yet her name in me will eternally emit
the radiance of longing ne\'er to be caught.
