Girl by the Seaside

A Poem from the Deep

When I’m down by the seaside I sometimes see A girl

Relaxing at the shore Without a worry In the world

People pass by and don’t Even notice Her

And, it seems, she doesn’t Even notice Them

But one sunny day Not so long Ago

Our eyes met in pure And absolute Fascination

She didn’t say anything To Me

And I didn’t say anything To Her

But our minds melded like Two halves of the same Whole

In a moment that felt like An Eternity

Which I realised wasn’t Long Enough

When she broke her gaze only To jump into the ocean And disappear

I ran to the seashore, but was only met with the icy Ebb and flow of the water lapping at my Feet

So, I stared out into the vast Big Blue

Which stared back at me with A vapid Expression

As if to tell me that I shouldn’t have Fallen in Love

With one of her daughters because I, myself, was not from The Deep

For I was a mere creature Who dwells on the Surface

Who only visits the sea Once in a while to Ponder

The vastness and intensity Of the great big Unknown

And, today, I continue to Do just That

More often now than I did Before

But only to walk along The Seashore

In hope of catching yet Another Glimpse

Of that girl, that creature, By the Seaside
