Before the light fails – v2

Gathering a few more seashells,
not needing to be perfect,
slowly walking northward,
shortly after sunset,
an hour past high tide…

Drinking in the sounds of the ocean,
wind over my left shoulder,
capturing these moments,
memories for me to treasure, 
to hold onto, when I am far from the water…

I walk more slowly yet, searching the horizon,
knowing this is one of my last times
on this beach, by this water,
on the island, on these sands
that I have loved so well...
