For Jen

Why? Why can't you hear me
When I  tell you  who I am ?
What I know  and what I need...
And what I understand.

My home is where the stormy sea
Surrenders to the sand.
I am the rushing tide that leaves
Faint sparkles in your hand

Why do you  keep speaking?
I can't shout above the noise.
If you stopped and let me listen  
You would understand  the choice...

And in the silence in- between
You'd hear my thunderous shout
Vowing my undying love,
Before the tide rolls out...

Why? Why can't you feel  me
Reaching desperate for your hand,  
Whispering your hallowed  name
Again, and again, and again.

My home is where the stormy sea
Surrenders to the sand.
I'm the rushing tide that leaves
Bright sparkles in the sand.
