[She stared in  d i s m a y

at the raging  w a v e s,

yearning to part the  s e a

with her piercing  g a z e.]

《《◇》》

[If only she would look  u p

and notice  h o w

her rare flashing  s m i l e

can part the grey  c l o u d s.]

《《◇》》

[It's a blessing and a  c u r s e

to watch her sit and  f r o w n,

while praying for her focused  e y e s

to look up instead of  d o w n.]
