Remembering
As the
thunder rolls
I
remember better times:
friends
building castles
with my
warm golden sand;
kids catching
crabs
in my
cool salty rock pools;
families
lounging on me,
seagulls
swooping overhead;
waves
lapping lightly,
licking
at my shore.
Now the
cold rain tumbles
and the
angry wind howls,
and I
lie empty,
remembering.
