Emma

She walks along the beach
The waves crash against her legs
The brightness of the moon reflecting off the sea
The wind whispering her name
Emma, where are you? Emma!

She shivers in the cold November breeze
The rocks shadowing over her
The stars twinkling in the night sky
The wind calling her name
Emma, I can see you. Emma!

She walks deeper into the sea
The water rising with every step
The memories fade away
The wind howling her name
Emma, I’m coming. Emma!

She closes her eyes as darkness falls around her
The warmth of her body. Gone
The twinkle in her eye. Gone
The breath she once had. Gone
The wind roaring her name
Emma, I’ve got you. Emma!
