tonight the lonely woman sits beside the sea again <br />her feet are too small and her hands too gentle <br />she speaks about what is missing and she recalls what she cannot find <br />she likes the song of the empty shells <br />the hermit crabs are too clumsy for her <br />her hair falls on the rocks and she begins to shed some tears <br /> <br />the sea keeps on waving, signalling as though sending the message <br /> ' please don't i have so much salt inside my belly' <br />but the lonely woman keeps on crying and she cannot be stopped <br />the sea is mute and the lonely woman is deaf <br /> <br />the tree says they make a good pair and someone says further <br />they can, who knows, without a hitch, live happily ever after<br /><br />RIC S.
