step by step
the sand sinks deeper into my shoes
infiltrating my socks
squeezing between my toes,
and the abrasiveness
reminds me i still feel something.
slowly, slowly
the breeze pulls my hair loose
until it billows around me
like the sheets on the line
after they’ve been hung to dry
like i have.
the smell of the ocean
is like an old friend
i breathe the nostalgia in
and it takes me
far away from here
to a happier place.
little by little,
the sun sets on another day
and the world turns golden,
reminding me of you
and the way your eyes shine
when you smile.
lonely,
i walk.
waiting for another day,
praying for a time already passed
breathing the ocean air
until my tears dry up.
step by step,
little by little,
breath by breath.
slowly, slowly,
lonely, i walk in this golden hour
until darkness comes once more.
I love this! Wow
