Sandprints on my Heart

October 6, 2009
By Anonymous

Crisp apron folded in a square,
Laid on the sand,
We put it there
Picnic basket opened up
Filled with discarded clothes

Footprints sprinkled the sand
Rain had washed them away
Our love had been written on that shore
Never to be seen again

A moment in time, trying to grasp onto a memory that may have been there but is slowly slipping. The specific time and place is unimportant but the nostalgia, the reminiscing seemed very universal to me.
