No Escape
one summer morning
i found myself walking up the beach alone
b'neath a sky too blue
a sun too orange
for my mood
and the wind sweeping through my hair
felt like you
and the air reeked of you
and i cried
thinking how something so beautiful
could just disappear
and i saw sea gulls that were yours
and they were floating with the wind
so i started to run with them
my hands far above my head
attempting to join them
above the surf
and just as i felt the cool water rush across my toes
i arose
slowly, i felt myself being lifted up off the sand
and i could see the beach slipping away
setting me free from you
and now i was aloft
floating like the gulls and the wind
above you
i looked ahead
and i swear
the horizon looked just like you
