Nothing Valentine

During the long ceremony of waves
You sat there staring at the dark
Invisible lake and then
The daily monstrance rose
With gulps of darkness
Exposing you on the beach
A creature of the light
A stone or shell from where
You are now you can turn
And look back at yourself
From the other side of the world
And still you are ground down
Even if the grinding takes
Eternity you sit and wait
