The sea was close by me

Vowing intimacy for eternity

The silence of the waves was all ears

Something I always fancied

The moon was unmoved in awe

Beholding every peculiarity in me

The stars were offering companionship

Making it easier to stay lonely

The wind was chattering recklessly

To know you could never know of me

The sky screened me from every calamity

Adorning itself with many alluring finery

The ground held to bestow home to me

Wished me to live forever there happily

But believe it or not

I was only waiting for you utterly

This poem is in response to Ravyne Hawke’s weekend challenge #6 — November 6th & 7th. The link is down below.👇🏼
