Better in Memory

December 15, 2023

The sun beats down on the water,

The rays create glitter in the water.

The warmth kisses my skin,

And soft sand holds me up.

I could spend hours here and never complain.


The longer I am here, the hotter it gets.

The sand sticks between my toes,

I am sweating and sticky.

The murk clouds the sparkle,

And the sun hurts my eyes.
