Footprints on the sand

give me your hand
come with me, my love
before you leave me
let us walk on a beach
turned gold at glorious sundown
our footprints on the sand
ephemeral like our time together
will soon be erased by the
surging tide
I will pace by your side
by the magical sea
be reborn a griot
to sing to the wind
the keeper of our history
of happy memories
love pure and fulfilling
while you slowly
slowly
fade from my life
