words on the wind

When you stood on the sea shore

And spoke words 

Meant for none to hear...

What if you thought

Words on wind

Could travel far beyond

Beyond those minds that sinned

You don't need conchs 

To hide those secrets

In their rumbling bellies

You don't need

Gulls to rise and fall

Carrying your words on their back.

You don't need waves to rise 

And then break

Across the surface 

Of jutting out shores.
And scatter your words
In broken pieces.

Just leave the book of your life-

Open

On the deserted sand banks.

Leave it by, for those passer by

To bend over and pick it up

Or flip through it's withered pages...

Leave it behind,

When it is time for you to leave...

The the sea to takes it back to its watery home,

For the breeze to mingle with its words,

For the time that goes in circles and never stops,

To hold on you words, on the wind

Forever and ever

And ever beyond....
