Secrets

I walked with you to the end of the ocean
and lost you in that fragile realm
where water meets land
and clear blue foams into crystal white
a mesh of forsaken tragedies
unleashed on your weary soul

I left you there on the crest of a wave
when the tide was too high to view the horizon
and I found buried in the grains of sand
your secrets nestled in the
curves and crevices
of the sea shells you picked out for me
with your bruised and calloused hands
