#writephoto - Waiting
It's another #writephoto challenge from Sue Vincent, and this week our prompt is this evocative photo of sunset over the ocean. There seemed to be something melancholy about the image - perhaps it's the combination of the obelisk and the setting sun. This is the poem that came to me:WaitingI wait upon the lonely shoreI wait for boats that come no moreWhere water meets stoneWhere earth meets skyI watch the long years passing by No one remembers when I cameThey do not even know my nameYet still I waitYet still I stareIn hope that I might see you there As darkness ends another dayAnd golden shimmers slide awayI cry out loudTo an uncaring sea‘Come back to me, come back to me.’
