Lone Reed

Strong as I am
My heels grab at the grass
My lackluster stride taking me
To "Eternity"
Where we began
I am searching for grace
I have been here before
I allow the wind to toss my curls
I need the sand to scrape my skin
You
You are here
While I, the lone reed
Weathered upright
You
The moss covered rock
Thrown about in the sea
To reach your final destiny
We found each other here
Both beaten, though beautifully
Attempting to hold one another
Still, from the onslaught
You
You have changed
And I remain the lone reed.
Our love, gone dry
The water, she comforts me
