His feet rested within the sand’s comfort at the intersection of the land and sea,
Alone to search the water’s horizon as the yellow sun descended from his relative view,
Soon dark nighttime would come for him within the humidity and late summer warmth,
Darkness comforted him, the invisible winds enraptured him,
He preferred to remain hidden from the passerby,
Unwilling and uninterested in exchanging pleasantries with a stranger as frothy white waves came and went,
He was alone again; they had settled the matter,
She was gone from his life,
All their time together now, forever memories,
But he looked down and noticed the waves kept coming and going,
He knew from experience the sun would rise again,
Assured he had the capacity to love another human being,
To accept and feel the raw wound from separation,
But the wound will heal,
The memories will fade,
And he will seek happiness and soon he will start searching for love, again.
