As The Tide Returns

I want to put together
erratic words
too long rested
in my mind,
as the tide returns
I listen, I
wait.
       
Time is stripped bare
of any music,
silence behind my eyes -
I imagine the rhythm
of our breaths conjoined
as the tide returns
I listen, I 
wait.
      
Stars are aligned 
to someone else's sorrow,
I can tell,
sisters of the night,
they don't speak to me
for once,
but their song
I understand - 
        
as the tide returns
I listen, I 
wait.
    
Now please
walk with me,
miracle,
along the lines
of a sleepless thought;
I have
so many things to tell you.
        
Take my hand,
miracle,
as the tide returns
I will listen, I 
don't know 
how to wait
any more.
