Walking Home

as I walk slowly
strolling across the beach
I think about the distance between us
my light across the oceans
we are both bound to our shores
I would cross the sea
chasing a faded sign
a glimmer, of hope
would I reach home
where my heart is buried?
if I stretch far enough
your hand for me to ask
in my reality, our fingers entangled
walking side by side
cheek to cheek
only a few meters away
can almost touch
you disappear
as I slowly walk along
