Sand

 
Like footprints in the sand

I know when I can only see one set
you hold me in your hands,

Cradling me close as we walk along the shoreline of life.

I can only see you in the sunset,

the way your love shades the skies of my heart in the purple and pink hues of us.

How the waves crash at your feet staggering those footsteps into the unknown.

We have grown to fear the future…
only the step of a moment is sure.

I notice that when the steps are yours and not my own,

I catch the thoughts in your eyes.

The ocean rambles on and on in a glare.

We are over troubled waters in the moment.

A shadow still wisps in the wind beyond calmly waiting for a time when time is gone.

I am sure our knees will become the sand.

One day my love and me nothing more than ash.
