The Sea washed my Apples away

I laid my Apples on the sand

To take a warm bathe in the

Sea It took me all courage and might

Before I enjoyed the swim.

The warm Sea gave me comfort and heat

Soothing my pained and stressed back

Relieving me from the worries of the past

And conflicts of the present time.

I remembered how relaxed I was whenever I am soaked

The splashing waves massage my body

The salty liquid makes me grin

And leaves an indelible smile.

I can hear the Sea crying, roaring his secrets to my ear

Banging me with the constant currents

The Sea confides with me,

Telling me his dreams, his wants, his stories I can only be there to listen

To stay and swim, and be a friend.

Abruptly, I rose from his loving arms

And attempted to rest on the sand

And eat some of my Apples

Still beside the beach.

A sigh of pleasant grief!

Now I blissfully mourn

Gone are the shiny, wild Apples

The fruits are washed by the friendly Sea.

In disappointment I wept

There she floated with him

Eaten whole and selfishly

By the companion I thought to be.

She was ravaged by the amiable Sea

The crimson, sweet Apple

And I can only cry

With joyous tears in my eyes,

I say She is no longer for me.
