been away too long

missing the sound

of breaking waves

and seagull songs

the curving coast

high tide smiling

undying gifts of love

touch of skin on stone

winter sand in shoes

over new footbridge

under old clouds

following in footsteps

taken as a child

knowing every inch

from hill to shiny sea

park and playground

eyeing blue horizons

empty years between

sharing all the secrets

walking hand in hand

learning life in laughter

nothing left unknown

memories are distant 

been away too long
