In the stillness of dawn’s tender embrace, A silhouette lingers, etched in time’s face. The echoes of laughter — now whispers of past, A void in the heart, a shadow is cast. Yet within the soul, a firmness anew, Strength blossoms quietly, resilient and true. The ocean’s embrace, in its vastness profound, Offers solace where love and memory are found. Waves cradle the whispers of sorrow and pain, Promising healing, like gentle rain. In each salty breeze and tidal sway, Comfort reweaves the broken clay. For though in this life our paths may part, The ocean holds the echoes of heart. And in those waters, quietly reside, Both loss and strength — in an endless tide.
