The Sunset's Whisper


The Sunset’s Whisper

Every day, she walks down to the ocean's edge
and lets the waves gently roll upon her feet.
The coolness of the water always takes her by surprise at first,
but as the next few sets of waves roll in,
she finds it more and more refreshing.
She gazes upon the horizon wishing her love
back into her arms.
 It is then that each sunset whispers to her,
"You must wait another day."
She thanks God for allowing her heart
to love this much, again,
 turns away from the peaceful sound of the rolling waves,
and heads toward the direction of home.
She gathers strength from her daily visits to the ocean's edge,
knowing one day soon,
 the sunset will whisper unto her,
“Your love has returned.”
Until then, she holds him close to her heart,
loving him more deeply than ever before.
