Often I would go to the beach in the evenings of summer and let the cooled sand cover my toes as they dug in. I would walk up near the water sitting down in the sand letting the mist engoulf me and the sound of the water light me. On these evenings my mind would soar through the days of summer trips taken on the motorcycle on northern roads that led me to my own brand of salvation. Those nights on the beach alone gave me strength to survive my hell and in those times I found words that I would put to paper. Those words became my outlet my due course of what I should believe a pathway to my feelings and my hearts soul. Now I long for that beach and those nights alone on it but only to share those times with one whom I love and long for. And in those moments now alone, when I look to the moon and cry I know she looks at the same sky holds her breath, and we are one. |

"Now I long for that beach and those nights alone on it but only to share those times with one whom I love and long for. And in those moments now alone, when I look to the moon and cry I know she looks at the same sky holds her breath, and we are one." Definitely identifying with you here. Great write. Keith Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |
