Goodnight

Just Imagine...

The sun setting across the water,

as you start your stroll.

Every speck of sand is mine,

no one else as far as the eye can see.

The life guard chair empty,

it’s shadow casting on soft sand.

Everything is getting darker,

and the sun is swimming deeper.

The sandcastles,

abandoned.

Holes in the ground,

deep as the ocean.

Still,

the sun swims even deeper.

The sailboats,

as they cruise off to the edge of the earth,

and suddenly fall off.

The bucket left behind,

washing in and out with the tide.

All of the minnows,

jumping up and down to their tiny heart’s content.

As the sun starts to drown,

I thank it for all the fun it has brought me today,

It goes on it’s way,

and so do I.
