The sunset by the sea My feet naked, embedded in the sand As the waves greet me with ferocity
Punching back with clenched fists Saltwater foam, elegant comb through my hair The ocean with all its depth condescending
All the colours of the universe in a sky tainted, so gloriously painted like a fresco Of an olden cathedral I'd never seen
Sweat and salt and sand in my clothes My eyes swollen, their whites stolen unconsciously Innocent are not the tears of the sea ---
Slow as the waves recede with the retreating tide So does the venom in my veins and come loose the nails in my head The shore sprayed with new hope The night sky of a new moon arrives Darkness heralds doubt Yet I'm relieved to be in the absence of the light that seeked to blind me last night
Went to my grandma's place by the sea. Needed a little headspace, and a lot of grandma's cooking :) I feel light after spending an afternoon at the beach, letting the waves hit me. And all this without a single smoke!
