Another Moment Longer

by Lousy Eyes   Jun 26, 2008


The sounds of joy and laughter
surround the area.
Back and forth motion
of waves everywhere.
Children in the sand
with their little palaces.
Others dotted across
the water in happiness.
The sun, a bright yellow,
beating down on my skin.
The water, deep blue green,
clear, mesmerizing, refreshing.
Little shells
in various ways.
How I wish
this could last for days.
To stay on the sand,
without a care in the world.
To look out in the distance,
and see beyond where your told.
To feel the salty taste
wash over my face.
To have all worry and anger
just be erased.
To feel the grains
below my feet.
To leave an imprint
on this beach.
Too bad this feeling
cannot last.
Too bad this'll be
a memory of whats past.
To feel this again soon
will be just fine.
Another moment longer,
another lifetime...

    Wonderful imagery here. I love the ocean and also hate leaving it behind, but I'm guessing this poem is a metaphor. The beach could be any place, any moment, any peasant experience that we wish could last, but know won't. The lines "To leave an imprint
    on this beach" are especially powerful. We all want to make our mark on the world; to leave something for people to remember us by. Lovely work.
