Poem Title:
Poem
Blazing hot sweats rolled down my back, A cloudless sky was at reach from my palm’s view, My eyes centered on the sun as it stood above my head. Summer’s end sneaked around the corner, But its endless heat Fooled me to think it would never cease. Milky sand grains covered my toes, Beach balls rolled back n’ forth, Children’s castle were made and later destroyed, Clear waters waved in my thoughts. It was suppose to be a beautiful day And until that moment, indeed it was. The moment the earth shook, Loud voices suddenly began to rise And Footsteps tumbled the ground, I looked around Right, left, up, down, Where had the commotion come from? The sun blinded me from the truth, When the photons in my eyes reassembled the image, A shock traveled to my heart Making it pump furiously in my chest. A desert ahead of me laid, Content faces had ran from my presence, The air dragged my body forward, The ocean rapidly seemed to disappear. I looked upon the never ending horizon And its line had ascended greatly. In that moment, I refused to run like all the others, I refused to avoid its magnificent moves. The winds pushed me backwards with a tremendous force, Sprinkles of icy water splashed against my skin, A great calamity I was bound to face. Shadows covered the surface of my dread, An enormous wall of wetness surrounded me. And with a blink, I was no longer visible to the eyes of men, Not even God could spot me from the heavens above. I gasped for air in the salty waters of the ocean, But there was none to be found, And with that last thought in mind I drowned myself in its eternal beauty.
