WAVES
Jazmin Garcia
I was standing on the beach
toes buried in the toasty sand
smelling the salty air as the clouds chased the sun.
You shouted my name under skies of peach and cherry
as the waves were crashing.
A love song drifted from the pier,
I looked up while the breeze hugged me lightly
you took me by the hand
and led me to the water’s icy lullaby
as the waves were crashing
I stepped into the foaming sea
and I froze as the water slowly became obscured.
Darkness was approaching and I felt hesitant,
but you said stay with me
as the waves were crashing.
I saw the fading seafoam green
reflecting with brilliance in your eyes.
The chorus of the seagulls filled my head
never letting go while we lost our balance
as the waves were crashing.
You and I were standing under the moonlight.
The water and the delicate wind grew chilly,
it was euphoria: just you, me, and the sea,
you whispered it will be alright
as the waves were crashing
