Footprints

____________________________

The Moon lights the path in the sand

where you walked. Water fills those footprints

like sand filled cups. I could drink from those

sole shaped sandy prints knowing you once

stood and created those indents.

--

I watch the waves dance against your legs

as your smile stretches as wide is the beach

I try to pull you to me like a life raft

but your beauty is too out of reach.

--

The water is crisp and cool to touch

as it caresses every grain of sand.

Your skirt swirls as you dance among the waves,

it's clear that it's you the land craves.
