Sand waves lightning rain
by @poemsbyky
We wrote our names in the sand.
The gentle rain began to grace the
shores with its mysterious beauty
as its delicate droplets fell
slowly
from the heavens high above.
The sun's rays refracted
against the glistening waters,
and the rain dissipated
when it came in contact
with the smooth surface of the ocean blue.
Crystal clear streaming drops continued
making their way to the waves,
but soon their gentle graces grew
into pounding pours.
The lightning came without warning.
The sun hid behind the dark clouds.
The tides began to toss and turn,
and the waves crashed against the sand,
washing away our names
until all that was left was
the sand, the waves, the lightning
and the rain.
