This week’s word: WAVES
————————————————————————————————-
Waves
The waves roared and crashed against the wet sand, creeping ever forward to smooth over and claim time and memories left behind.
She would not let him carve out their names; wouldn’t let him leave behind anything, but their foot prints.
He stopped presenting her with shells and smoothed stones; she would only say they belonged to the sea.
She fell in love there, with bare feet in cold water; her heart was torn between her first love of the roaring waters and this man.
The memories of salt air, the setting sun and his warm hands was all that she would take, it was all that belonged to them.
Interesting response – has a powerful yet subtle beauty – much like waves rolling in and out 🙂
