Sand … An Interesting Thing
by Lizzie Heart

Middle of July
Sun high in the sky
Sweltering rays
Melting me away
Alright! I’m done
Time for some fun
Let’s head to the beach

Ocean wind in my hair
Calming fresh air
Soft ocean mist
A girl could get used to this

Walking along the coast line
Admiring all that today is mine
Stopping to go further in
Letting the waves call me home to them

Curling my toes in the cold, wet sand
Waves tugging at my legs
My toes holding where I stand
It tickles, it tingles the sand moving all around
As I sink deeper and deeper into the ground

Sand is so infinitely small
Yet soft enough to catch me when I fall
Not so easy to hold just one single piece
My mind starts to wonder how this sand became surrounded around…
