What a Beach

You're like a sand within my hands

You slip between my fingers

Somehow managing to always get away

I find you in places I don't want you to be 

My head is speckled with your presence

Yet, you're somehow soft and supportive

I watch you forever change

With tides come a new way

You unforgivingly hurt me

When you let the wind pick you up

and burn across my face

I feel you heat up from the rays of the sun

It's not until you settle back into the ground

and become soft again

That I remember

You're like sand within my hands
