I stood on the shores of the vast sea watching the horizon.
In my hand the string of pearls, a token from your last visit.
The day turns dark as the sea calls to my soul.
Waves caress my feet with the tide changes.
It is then that I know the pearls have turned to sand, slipping through my fingers.
My love is no more, for he belongs now to the sea.
