Smooth Poem Challenge

Waves crash before me

The gleaming sun shines down

Smooth, beautiful sand between my toes

The perfect paradise

Lying flat on the ground

Relishing in the warmth

Fingers digging through the grains

The soft and silky sand flows freely

This feeling-

The way the sand warms my entire being

Enveloping me like a soft blanket

This feeling-

A bittersweet reminder

While I hold on to dear life

In a white bed

Surrounded by white walls

I have a promise to keep

Fight with everything I have

So I can see the ocean

And breathe in the salty air

And make sandcastles again

Until then-

I will keep dreaming

Wishing to feel the smooth sand between my toes
