Absolute Quietude...Retourne

A final stroll along the beach

melancholy cry of the gulls

recalls words spoken on parting

accented by the crashing waves

Melancholy cry of the gulls

breaks through my silent reflection

as the sun sets, time slips away

leaving only vague impressions

Recalls words spoken on parting

echos of a rebounding door

leaving absolute quietude

bags, now packed, waiting in the drive

Accented by the crashing waves

the cottage now devoid of life

missing melody of laughter

stands alone, abandoned, outcast
