The girl standing there
By the ocean was she standing from far I could see
her dress whipped around but her focus unphased
it appears so deep drowned in thought was she
that sunsetting burned upon which her eyes gazed
but never-no-mind absorbed in her trance
What captured her so? My thoughts I have praised
and now captures me, was it all just perchance?
Then my dress whips ‘round too, for which I’m amazed
two souls never met but strangers that share
while ignorant is she, and we both in our gaze,
trapped by our own musing around salty air
The spell has been broke and we go our own ways.
