when the ocean meets the sand
it leaves the sand darker

if you glide your eyes over the beach you'll see it
the difference in shades the closer you get to her
it's a warning

shes telling you to run
but not because she will kill you
not because of every danger she holds

she's telling you to run because she cannot keep you
and even if she warns you before, you will try to stay
and she'll retreat, the only remnants left behind the memory of her fullness.

so heed her warning.
do not enter the ocean.
