Fading

 

The ever crashing waves

Slowly deposit sand onto

The beach which has been

Set a flames by the

Fading desperation of the people above

 

 

Fallen to the ground

The drenched grains of sand

Slowly begin to pull

At their soul as the ocean begins

To wash away any thoughts of

Normality that still lingers

 

 

Clearly they've seen better days

And clearly their eyes reflect their

Confidence as it vanishes

And their fragile hands

Move to the sky

Letting go of

What has been lost

Liked this piece. The ending became a painting in my head.
