This Beach
Updated: Feb 9, 2024
Time and I shared 14 years here
The sand between our toes weathering out the storms, sharing sunsets as we danced barefoot
Nothing is left
Not a starfish, not a sandcastle in sight
With a wave of her hand Tide erased any trace
Of our love affair
But I can feel their ghosts
Murmurs of once upon a time
Did any of it even matter?
Sun seers his white light warming me up from head to toe
Hair twirls her way around my fingers
And I’m thirsty
For cleansing, for healing
Moon patiently waits for her turn
To wonder into Night’s sky
Forever echoing my questions
Who am I?
Who am I….
And why do I care so much
I curse the stars for lighting up the dark
Just enough to keep me here
Hope twinkles in the peripheral
As long as I don’t look
Teasing with winks across the surf
Twilight is where everything becomes possible…..
Sincerely,
Shipwrecked
