Melancholy eyes capture the moments that scar bleeding hearts and teach lessons in never growing old, softly shut them now and fall into starlit dreams that glisten in the darkness
Memories that dissolve beneath the surface of black sands sprinkled along coast, lost from sight and vacant to the mind until washed ashore by an ocean of wandering thought
Whitecap water charging the beach with waves that roar like thunder and devour shadowed dunes, lay still as they wash over innocent skin yearning to reminisce the days before the sea shivered
Flesh cold to the touch and rich with salt, dry mouths pressed against body, remember the taste of lost hope so bitter to a tongue that moistens pressed lips left lost for words
Say nothing in the presence of such glorious nature that consumes curious senses, take in this moment of being for soon it will be just another memory dancing in the breeze
A spirit awoken by a will to never to forget from presence comes gratitude, a ephemeral vow between the head and the heart, a promise to always remember the way back here
Here is a reason to gasp for one last breath when the hourglass runs short of black sand and stars no longer shine, be forever young and come alive in memories that time could never bury
Trust not, melancholy eyes and seek to calm the raging waters of consciousness, sleep now and heal your fragile heart before dawn, a heart that wears its scars so proudly
Release yourself to the wind and the moments that rattle your bones, trust with all you hold dear that they will return when they are needed, be spirited and grateful for the ability to recall a vow never once broken
Remember your your way back to this moment; remember your way back here
If only to feel alive once more
