just taking a breather

xqw

Breathe in

Breathe out

Like the sea

Coming in

Coming out

and the sand

getting pushed away

and back in

the waves

lapping at the rocks

each shaping and eroding

until the surface is smooth enough

to see the sunlight

reflect

the morning has gone

and leaving a trace of red

in the charred sky

the end of another day

  • Cheeky Missy

    Precisely, yet, your similes add such finesse to the seemingly commonplace injunction. Lovely and subtly poignant.
