The Deep and Timeless Sea

Krystle Noyes

The sea is restless this night, The indescribable color of endless tears, Crying, singing, calling each of us by name.

And we have answered. The sea is all that remains, Bearing the echoes of our voices on the waves, The memories of the lost ones in the depths. This same sea, we once thought, Would carry us to our dreams, dreams that were never fulfilled.

On nights like this, still and calm, When the sky and the water are indistinguishable, The water, cold, inky black water, And the only sound is the moaning of the surf.

We remember our lives.

We remember our loved ones, waving, weeping, Wishing us a safe journey, Left on the shores as our Ship of Dreams steamed out to sea.
