Alone, I walk along the shore.

 

My thoughts drift farther and farther out to sea,

swaying among the rolling waves.

 

Carried by the wind,

and at times moving against it,

migratory birds make their way onward.

 

I pause for a moment

and look back upon the path I have traveled.

 

Beneath a distant light

filtering through the clouds,

a small boat passes by.

 

Thinking of where I am going,

I walk the shore once more, alone.
