paper hearts crinkled
as when thrown aside
into the foam of the green
and the blue expanse
we called the sea
together once
bulbs like new ideas
not those of the earth
lay shattered and crisp
under foot
to mark the sound
of your exit
the salt the earth and the sea
bleak reminders all
of the colours once vivid
when eyes were left open
and without the opaque
blur of a tear
as we reached for places
not meant for us
the slaps of our childhood
awakening us again
to the time we have lost
along the way
grabbing pearls both
white and pewter
from their shells among the sand
in our haste to find the treasure
already held within our hands
