When Twilight Finds You By the Sea

By R. Gerry Fabian

When twilight finds you by the sea

and memory tears collect

renounce the tide that has taken me.

Several weeks pass awkwardly

but never in neglect

when twilight finds you by the sea.

Tread on the sand so gently

and if I may inject -

renounce the tide that has taken me.

Explore emotions carefully.

Keep those that protect

When twilight finds you by the sea.

Should hope erode slowly

‘til doubt invites neglect

renounce the tide that has taken me.

Await the dawn patiently

and warm gleams recollect.

When twilight finds you by the sea

renounce the tide that has taken me.
