Not Sad - Diane Scantlebury

I’m not sad
Just thoughtful,
Listening to the murmur
And lapping of the sea,
I’m not sad
Just wishful,
Watching the long horizon,
Letting thoughts drift
To where they want to be,
I’m not down
Just hopeful,
There’s a beautiful future
For you and me,
And while the waves relentless
Crashing onto the sandy shore,
Wipe away all trace of our footsteps,
The coral pebble of our love
Will endure forever more.
