The Strand

This expanse of land has seen things. Things all of us can only see in dreams. It's seen war, it's gotten it's fair share of scars. Bombs bursting, bullets throwing sand into the air like it's a volleyball tournament. The sand running red with blood silently mocking our arteries. This magnificent stretch of land has seen heroes' tears fall; dropping to their knees while sadness envelopes their fallen brothers but also looking up to their beloved whilst carrying a ring in their hand. It's seen bright days, the sun glimmering over wet sand, footprints of past loves being washed away as the sun smacks the horizon. This expanse of land...has seen things we can only imagine. T.K

If we only knew right...if the walls could talk. This poem was very well written. The imagery was beautiful and I too wonder what the land has seen, what has been lost at sea, whats been laid out under the sky. Very very nice job :)
