Strong heat caress the brittle, golden tan sand
Stuck to the feet of a small child running across the land
small, childish giggles floats in the humid air
castles and buckets fell without a care
as small ocean waves sweeps all away
the small child fell
into the cold embrace of the stinging, salty waves
pierced by shards of fear
as they sank in this dark hell
pulled down by the weighted visions of death and graves
no sense of salvation near
pressures of surreal blinding blue
parted ways for a sole hand to come through
the small child rose amongst the ocean’s flow
a gasp of air, the sight of violet-red sunset of tomorrow
In wonder as the small child is held in a mother’s embrace,
captivated by nature’s power and grace
preserving the forged memories
in this forgotten day
