Gray Sand

Gray skies swarming
tangling over each other -

arms over arms -
fingers tightly entwined.

Lightly tanned toes
sinking into the dark
soft sand

that the stormy air
has brought in.


Thick air -
rushing over my
exposed form
arms extended

swarming air -
only pulled apart
by shadowy skin

ocean rushing upon me
swallowing my legs

soon to consume the beach beyond me.

Hair pulled back.
Dampened intuition.

I walk to the salty waves
letting the strong current
pull me forth.

Author notes

Um... Well I was at the beach for a week, and I hadn't written then...
So I got back, so I wrote now

There we go.
I'm not crazy about it - kinda choppy.

In a list

Be honest here.

    I love the imagery. The ocean is my favorite place.

    Perhaps you are a romantic?
    The ocean is quite inviting
    but I felt like I had died
    when I got there
    Because I saw a light at the end of darkness
    when I emerged I began to cry
    because death was kind of scary:
    then my new mother smiled at me
    and I recognized birth.

    You created a nice poem.
