Florida

Kiara Beckford

The soft breeze entering at ease
Gently grazing the waves that maintain stability, somehow able to retain its agility
The salty air ruffles my hair as I  stood unaware
The cotton pink sky full of light, mixed with a milky orange delight
That had washed the sky before night dawned upon time
Like Cinderella in a hurry
Gloriously trying to live out eternity
My fingertips gripped the deck as I pictured all the things I should’ve said
But like the sky, my mind had darkened as it became midnight
Unable to fight the might that dwelled inside my eyes
 My emotions cried; tears became wave tides
 I watched the sand over the landscape leaving , the life that I wish I could hide
 but instead the melting horizons liquefy the lies I set aside
This was the only goodbye I could give to the people that had died in my eyes
Which was now tucked behind the crescent moon
The wind receded and the silence grew
That’s how my mind knew
The only peace I could feel was through nature’s peak
That leaked ink throughout the images saved in my timeline
That never held a guideline to the strife that has built up inside
So instead I continued to hope that I would evaporate into the skyline
