The Lights On The Water

Lights on the water.

Blurred and bright.

I sit on the front porch.

Admiring the night.

I feel my head spinning.

I look back through the years.

Embracing the laughter.

Understanding the tears.

I miss the one,

who has my heart.

Too long the time,

that we have been apart.

I look at the water.

Seeing my existence.

It’s there in the light.

Offering assistance.

I dip my toes in.

Testing the tide.

Feeling the warmth.

Keeping my pride.

I wade through the water.

I feel the weight lifting.

I slip under the surface.

Barely shifting.

The water is dark.

Almost mesmerizing.

I feel all around me.

It’s hypnotizing.

The water takes me.

But I am not afraid.

I move on to the next life.

Memories fade.

But the lights.

The lights on the water.
