Sands of Solitude
February 7, 2024
Feet squishing the sand, I close my eyes and listen to the waves crash.
Step by step, footprints drag behind me, skin glazed from the beating sun.
Our place, but you're gone. Ashes, kept deep into the ocean.

In this sijo poem, I decided to write about my deceased grandmother. She would always take me to Florida on Cocoa beach, but a few years ago she died of cancer. It was disheartening and a very hard time for me to watch my grandma pass away. After she died, she had ashes left with us. Me and my family took a trip to the beach and spread her ashes within the coast of Cocoa beach, where we once walked before her.
