August Visual Poetry Prompt

Beside Me

Beside Me

The sea keeps

telling its stories.

Children laugh.

Waves arrive

and quietly leave.

The world

moves around us,

busy chasing

the next moment.

But you—

you ask

for nothing

except

to sit beside me.

No grand speeches.

No promises.

Only your quiet presence,

your trusting eyes,

your tail

resting against mine.

Perhaps

love

has never been

about finding

someone

to change the world.

Perhaps

it has always been

finding the one

who makes

the world

feel like home,

simply

by staying.

With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
