☮️ A quiet place to write about loud emotions 🧘

found at the beach

I craft a lot of stories
that never make the journey
from my head to the outside
some that ill admit I could
really do without

ill tell you one story but listen..
this one I tried to hide

its about a child,
playing on a beach
with azure dress and lemon hair
who lays on the sand

waves wash in
as she glances a bone white medallion
close enough to reach
she doesn't hesitate
she puts it to her hand
this rough and warm sand dollar

for a moment nothing, than
it buries itself into her palm

as corals erupt from her fingers
she goes to run away when seaweed lashes from
her legs into the ground
she goes to scream, but sand erupts in a spray
her eyes turn towards the shore
she goes to move as seafoam falls down her body

Its then
the water moves in

she never knew what waited
to be found beneath the sand
As easily as wave crush dirt
her days were at an end
