Silver and Sand

You look so inviting

staring into the silver and sand

shine like the ocean

bright as the sun's reflection sets

gleaming

the brilliance it shows

swallows the strength we hold

the current is moving

as fast as the waves are crashing in

struggle to surface

reaching for light above the swell

gleaming

the brilliance it shows

swallows the strength we hold

drifting from the shore

the on-lookers adore it

never even knowing

what chaos is in store here

overshadowed in its picture perfect sunset
