Your Tracks in the sand

You walk on the beach

Go the direction the wind takes you

The waves lap at your feet

As you walk along the road

Made of small rock and crystal fragments

Past sea shells and crabs, your tracks in the sand

The wind whispers secrets of the world in your ear

Or the waves touch you with their sacred murders

You accept all facts, because you know their reasons

The cliffs that rise above you

They welcome you as well as the seagulls

To see your tracks in the sand

I follow you, I watch you

Before the waves sweep you foot prints away

I have to try and hurry to keep up

Because you are my friend, my blood

I have to watch out for you as you did for me

Once you touched the water yourself

You changed from two legs to one fin

Slowly you become scaly

A gasp in amazement and shock

The worst part is, you heard me

Your eyes of pure sapphire blue

Turn to look at me in sadness

Slowly your tracks go away

I wish you wouldn't leave me

But I won't be selfish

I want you to be happy

I want you to live

But I can't take away your regrets

The memories of you and me looking for shells

The laughs and joys and tears we shared

Are burned in your thoughts

One last look , one last touch

You smile, call my name

And drop a tear

I cry in silence as I watch you swim back home

To your secret depths

And as I turn around

Your tracks in the sand are mere fin prints

Then gone forever.
