God Brought A Beach Towel
Written By: Breanna Womble
...
I’m starting to understand
The slight of hand
That it takes to see this world as an ocean
So vast and deep
With secrets to keep-
I spread love on like tanning lotion
(..) I forgot how the sun feels from this perspective
As my heart beats quick with/
as if it’s,
/To keep up with lost time.
I know now I hold the full Collective
all the while I stay and destroy the retina’s in my eyes.
This time around,
Loving me is the new objective-
gazing at new found patience with what follows sunrise
And left these sands of time-
One grain left to fall amongst the Hour,
All this chaos I hold inside of me-
In-spite of trees that Fear let tower
Ahead of me is too far gone
twin flames too, burned away...
Lake Eerie drowned our fire quickly/
a parted heart of two;
half-hearted sunsets shadowed days,
To the boy I thought I knew.
Do you suffocate with silence?
Do the sun-rays burn your eyes?
All this technicolor vision Love,
Colorblind through cobalt eyes’
(..) I know now of not tomorrow,
But sea, to my dismay;
Salt lake kisses from Oklahoma/
...Taste like soulmates in PA.
