An hour at the beach... <3

Beach Time

Repeat. Destroy. Repeat. Destroy. Repeat. Destroy.

Hello. Goodbye. Hello. Goodbye. Hello. Goodbye.

These are the sounds of the waves i hear infront of me.

Carving seconds into a sculpture. I cup my hands full of sand, moulding indestructable into the cracks of my fingers, seeping through. Tiny grains. Tiny cracks. Indestructable.
A hole, dug, from the placement to placement. Insignificant little grains, dancing around my fingers. Tainting the natural fountain of the sand, i glide my fingertips over the surface.
Sand now, adoring my ankles. An array of browns, oranges, greys and transparent.
Im sporting sand socks, built up by tiny licks of rainbow flecks.

The sea steals this from me.

Particles of history. Little silences, each with a thousands stories to tell. They say nothing.
I wait and I listen. I hear the ocean rehearsing its silence.

1 2 3 4 5.

Metres closer, it starts to sing at me…. I hear a lullaby of crunches, splashes and whistles. Maybe the stories are being told…

Am i just not listening hard enough?
