Faithless

October 23, 2008

But nobody ever sees how far
the things we shouldn’t feel can take us.
I just want to walk along the shore
for an hour, watch the waves
rearranging whatever they can.
I like the way the sea encourages me
to think about the past,
as if I could leave it where it is:
the moon on the water, the stars
that gleam and are gone.

- Lawrence Raab
