Just As
Just as a sliver of moon waits uneasily at the daybreak,
waning to let the sun command the sky.
Just as glistening dewdrops slide down fresh blades of green,
making it seem that the rains did just weep and sigh.
Just as tiny crabs burrow, creating sandy bubbles on the beach,
betrayed by the mighty frothing tide.
Just as countless silvery scales stuck to nylon fishing nets,
the morning catch, reflecting a fisherman's pride.
Just as the grittiness of sand stuck in the web of my toes,
fresh reminiscent of my walk at the teach
Just as this anaphora, my heart races back to you
your memories entwine me, just as you fade out of my reach.
