Staring into space

The waves kept hitting the beach,
and she stared into the sea.
On the horizon she could see the ships pass by,
searching for another harbour to anchor in.
She could picture the men on the ships,
staring back at shore just like she was staring toward them.
The sun was setting, and water was burning.
The colours were playing out there,
while the breeze kept blowing her hair around.
She kept staring into eternity.
Because there was nothing else she could do.
There was no where else she could go.
And as the sun disappeared,
the darkness krept closer,
and the stars showed their pretty faces.
She moved her gaze from the sea to the sky,
not knowing what she was searching for.
All she knew was that she wasn't leaving,
for she had no where to go.
