Sea Glass
Sea glass on the beach
Captured by the waves and brought right to my feet
As I look through it,
The sea glass reflects all I've ever wanted to see
We are all here for the same purpose,
though no one knows it
The warmth of the sand on my feet
matches the fire that wallows up inside me
A loud laugh here
A whiff of salt there
Ice cream on his tongue
Summer.
The worries of life are washed away with the waves
The love that comes from pure freedom abounds
And joy is no longer frowned upon as a luxury,
but a reality
Your wide smile is no longer out of place in the world,
But you are now accepted here.
No loneliness
Nothing but giggles and carefree smiles
are found here at the beach
Summer.
An entry point for different people, changing times.
But peace covers who ever cares to come.
Old feuds forgotten
Arguments turned into laughter
Limbs entwined
Hot breath mingling together
Hands mixed with strands of hair
Eyes reflecting the flaming fireworks
Lips tasting of salt water
The beads of sweat running down our back.
Perspiration soaked shirts.
Sticky skin.
Blistered feet.
Colors so vivid they hurt the eyes.
Skin so scorched it burns a brilliant red
Endless skies
Clear oceans
Pure intentions
Overwhelming love
Summer.
An orange Sunrise bursts on the open water
New Beginnings
Not a cloud in sight
The Sun high in the sky signals an intense feeling of
Immortality...everlasting days.
Purple hues capture the sun and pull it back to the sea
A sadness surfaces with the realization that our momentary escape is fading with the light.
Dusk arrives and the air of completion is final
We struggle to say all we put off saying during the day
Summer.
Frantic kisses are stolen
As if we are all trying to find another way to breathe
The threat of tomorrow hangs over our heads
We embrace and hold each other tightly, trying to preserve the moment
Don't end, oh beautiful day
Twilight has come. But love still remains.
Summer's joy is infectious
And as life begins again
Worries resume
Sea salt dries
And is washed away with the sand
But that breathtaking exhilaration sleeps inside us all
Waiting for the day where it can awaken again
Summer.
