Where Are You?

My thoughts rapidly flew

sailing across the other shore

hoping they might find you  

but where did you go?

 

In this deck of dreams where I stand

I see nothing, no one

Nameless faces look nothing but silhouettes

 

Artfully, the ship dances with the waves

in this sea that seems boundless, endless

like your thoughts and memories.

 

To you, I am eternally enchained

A willing captive of our promises and dreams 

For what is a ship without the sea?

And what am I without you with me? 

 

The shore is near

Yet, you’re still nowhere 

Everyone’s gone now

Again, I’m left standing here

Still wishing,

still dreaming 

You’ll appear, and be true to your bow

But where are you?
