A Thought for a story... BY THE SEA
She was standing at the water’s edge, her feet rubbing
against the rocky shoreline, cutting small nooks into her callouses, but the
pain never registered. She looked out at
the raging waves that rolled in with a thunderous rhythm. She wondered where he was right now. Was he
even still alive? He left weeks ago
with his crew. They went out into the
sea wanting to hook the catch of the season.
Her life hardened expression does not suite her finer structure, but
this was the kind of life that aged a soul early. She was destined to wait in pain, knowing her
loved one may never return again to her arms.
The waves kicked up spray that left a gentle mist over her face; they
blended with her tears, making them vanish to the eye. If only she had the strength to stay away
from him…. But alas, she was here, waiting for her man to return home. She prayed that her heart would not be
broken. God speed, my love.
