Little One

Sea and salt wrapped in the air You jumped across the washed up weeds Safe haven on the pearly beach The water rolls, unleashed. Her hand in your as she ran down Along the edge of salty deep Sand sifting between your toes And sun kiss on your cheeks. Curls of hair whip wild behind While you both feel the water’s grace Baring skin and every tooth With light upon your face. The summer ends so soon with all The fall of leaves and set of sun Hang on to every inch you have Before her hand is gone.
