A Lady On The Beach

I saw a lady on the beach.
Standing elegantly
on the shore line.
Peering out
at the distant horizon,
unattainable.
In her mind,
she is sailing.
Sailing to that
faraway horizon.
But,
the closer she gets,
the farther it becomes.
I saw that lady on the beach,
cry a single tear.
I watched her tear drop,
into the waters edge.
Becoming one with the ocean.
I can only hope,
that tear
reaches her horizon.
