And at the waters edge, nothing more was said
The boy looked at the creature, not a single tear was shed
And the creature laid his hand upon the boy's head
And gave him a wink of his eye
And the creature turned around and walked slowly to the sea
To go to a place where forever he would be
And with one great leap, he leapt into sea
And in the blink of an eye, he was gone
The boy stood still, alone now on the shore
He stared into the distance and hoped there would be more
The yellow rose fell to the floor
And drifted away on the wind.
THE END
