Salt Stained

I was convinced I knew-
my life clinging persistently
to a salt stained soul begging
for escape; wishing for
relief.

But I had not yet fully
known the stunning grip
of pain's full extent, before I felt
love's perfect ache.

Falling stars give birth
to dreams of innocence-
is it too late
for me to catch one?
