-A Day at the Beach

Sea crashing, bubbling, crashing again
Laughing at my grief, my sin
In and out
In and out
Laughing, laughing

Gulls, high above, laughing
At my grief, at my sin
Green, blue, foam crashing
Against the brown, brick stones
Hard, cruel rocks
Laughing, laughing

Mocking sea, rushing in
Mocking my unmoving self
Sucking in my feet
Sinking down into the sand

Gritty, sifted, shell filled ground
Sinking, shifting around
Trying to suck my feet in
While I stand there in the wind

Sinking down, slowly, surely
Into the unforgiving sand
I stand unmoving, staring into the sun
Setting orange on the watery horizon
And the sea is still laughing, laughing
