Realization

A jagged shoreline littered with shattered remnants of seashells, The relentless pounding of the surf erasing footprints in the sand of playmates now forgotten, Constant cries of nomad seagulls searching for bits of nurishment in a struggle to survive, An old fisherman focused intensely on a large grouper which eludes him as he baits the hook in vain attempts, Mirrored water reflecting the crimson color of the setting sun as it disappears on the distant horizon, The rhythm of a clanging buoy warning of changing tides in shallow water, A salty breeze nudging my hair out of place and tugging at my memories, As the darkness of night envelopes me I feel an old sense of longing and realize once again, I am alone.
