AUGUST

by Xanthippi Giotopoulou

The falling stars are drifting apart

And the lovers trying to kiss in the dark

On a summer night full of sand,

At the beach where they met

Two children with ice cream in hand

Laughing loudly for others to hear,

While the sun was shining and the moon was hiding,

In a mystic cave, which

The lovers are eager to explore and to find the secrets it holds

The lagoon is inviting them to dive in

To feel its water to their core

And heal their soul in a way they can only understand Holding their hands tight and looking at each other, deciding the fate of their intertwined lives the children take the risk since it’s not a dream but a reality with a lot to take in they need to believe
