My Darkness
December 3, 2015
Corinne Weadock
I watched the dark ocean roar in the night
I kept my distance from the preceding waves
Staring at the water and birds as they soared
My mind was frozen, I was in a daze
Standing here feels like a lifetime ago
This ocean, this town, was our sacred place
We only had a few more years to go
The waves chased one another in a race
Slamming to the ground, salty kisses on my toes
Years ago this was my favorite place to be
I stored all my memories in my heart shaped case
Years passed, everyone now seems to know
The ocean is my darkness, without it, I am free.
