I lay wraped in sand and shore
Feeling no longer the waves lapping against my ankles
Flat, my body is still, under curved ground
Check stars
One, two, three...
They are all there
Check me
I can't tell if I'm here,
Or there,
Anywhere
Brightness so dull it bores into my eyes
Waiting for tides to touch bare skin
Bury my body under the beach
Let my soul fly up to dance with the stars,
catch on the moon,
and spend eternity hanging on with wet slippery fingers

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

Lovely images of the beach at night

Words flow heavily,
A carbon copy of my heart,
As well as my soul.

Hi dg, Alle, and Mike! Thanks for reading.
dg, I like that last line quite a bit myself!

Glad you liked so much. It's been awhile since I've broke out in a creative spell. All I have to say is...It's about time! Smiles
