Chesapeake Bay

by Sean Allen   Jul 28, 2006


As I write this I wonder
if you can recall
us sitting together,
watching the sun fall
upon the gentle waters
of the Chesapeake Bay.

And all those strange berries
that grew on that tree
that I stained my shirt with
so that you'd sit next to me
and not worry about pink marks
on the shorts you were wearing.

You say you remember
me introducing myself
bravely to your table
and I say I can still see
you beating me at basketball.

As the sun sets
on the Chesapeake Bay,
I fervently wish that
the three weeks we share
can remain a part of us
for as long as there is
water to dream on.

    "for as long as there is
    water to dream on. "

    That line gave me chills. The entire piece is beautifully reminescent, but you just blew me away with that last line.
    Take care and keep it up~Holly
