The sand never stops
for the beach never ends.
However, the time that has been
has suddenly come to an end.
So quickly, in the blink of an eye,
I don't believe it's done.
I turn and smell that sea salt,
and into the ocean I run
Inside my mind and on my body
the water doth feel so calming.
The waves crashing with the wind,
to others would be a warning.
But I push past the waves
and now I do float free.
Every gust of wind
takes me where I wish to be.
Now with the time passing,
I relax and watch the sun.
I rise and fall with the tide
this life, it is most fun.
All the moments I'll never miss
from the life I left in the dust.
My life now, it is so perfect
because of the ending that never was.

The water imagery was nice.
This whole poem is a great metaphor and I really like the last line. -
You are exactly right, I wanted people to take my work and edit it to become something more, expand it with their own ideas and stories. I really really like what you have done to this poem. I love which poem you picked too, because it is the poem I have had the most trouble with in editing, I think. I like how you actually created a story and a theme, because mine really had no point. Good job, and thank you for entering in my contest! And keep writing!
