They Just Fade Away
The beach has slowly eroded
Waves breaking further away
Creeping closer
The sand’s remaining grains
Tease my fragile fingers
Taunting the distance
Time’s tide rolls slowly
Chasing a sand crab
Looking for me
Swirling around my feet
It whispers “come”
“They wait for you”
I drift helplessly
Joyously
Into its abyss
