lost at sea
staring at the waves
each one, she waves back
and each one fades.

lost, she asks
"is there someone out there
who can see me?"
silence answers, the wind bare.

the moon guides her path
as she walks through shore
the stars silently watched
and prevented the rain to pour.

"poor child," deities whisper
as she looks at the sky above
"why would she be alone at night
when she deserves warmth and love?"

"why would she look at the sky
like one looks at their father's grave?
why would she look at the sea
like one looks at a loved one they couldn't save?"

she embraced the roughness of sand
her toes wet from the waves
closed her eyes and listened in
unaware of the passing dates.
