The Beach

written by: Mitch Bensel

@MitchRambling

I saw you walking along the beach
you smiled then slowed and turned
to me .. you spoke words of hello and
come this way
your legs carried heaven across the sands
lifting my vision against your lean
I felt eternity smash like a wave
moving us against and again
and repeat…

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
