pt 2 of a poetic series "friends to lovers" | for the Light Breaks Water challenge
Part One
*
there are times we sit by the water
watching the tide roll out
and take away our voices
and yet much is said
left behind in the sand
*
i have always found you beautiful
like a shell against the sand
a fact
and nothing more
but then
the water rolls out
and there is something faint
etched in the sand
more
much more
like a veil lifting
perhaps...
*
and the tide comes back
yanking the thought from the sand
and pulling it into the ocean
sinking to the bottom
before it grows
into a wave
that could wipe away
everything i've ever believed about us
and yet it lingers
*
Next part coming soon
