A Timeless Dream


A poem. A story. Written as a series of haiku.

Cold Winter evening
Feet stand upon a shoreline
Eyes on horizon

Waves of tenderness
Rise and fall and rise again
Ten fingers entwined

Memories abound
Of previous perfection
Now scattered like shells

Soft words are spoken
“Where did it all go so wrong?”
Tender tears are shed

Fingers fall apart
Bodies turn – one North, one South
To face their new lives
