The Beach

The Beach

by Keira Jefferis

A sunny beach. You are walking in the sand, But it slows you down as you slowly sink. You run to the water, Looking for some peace and relief. Next thing you know you are floating, Further and further out. Clouds start to form, A fog gathers a top the water, You are now unable to see. A storm starts, Caught in the rapids, No clue what you are doing, Being pushed and pulled by the ocean, No way to stop. Until, It’s over. You wake up. Fog covering the same beach, Unsure of what is ahead, Or where you came from. All you can feel is the sand on your feet The same sand, But something is different. No more storm. The beach is calm, But lonely. Sand still holding you back, As you feel yourself sinking back in. Unable to move, Until the water grabs you again. The sunny beach you once knew is no longer sunny, When it will return is unknown.
