Footprints in the Sand

So, I switch my gaze back towards the ocean

and listen to it's
tranquil music-

a melody
I could only imagine

would sound sweeter
had there still been

two sets of footprints in the sand.

So simple, but very moving. I like that somber undertone.

Looking back towards the sea adds a dimension to the experience of sadness because of retracing a path already made, but as one person - just staring out to sea would not have had that impact, I believe. So well done here.

Ray.
