Picture this,
An empty beach.
Filled -of course- with sandy shores,
Endless seas,
And your toes in the shallows.
The sun shine washes over you
Like showers of a mid-summer's rain
Under the starry nights of our youth.
Can you see it?
What about this?
You are standing beside you sister and your brother,
You see the face of your new cousin or son,
Brought into this world by chance but loved no matter what.
Your parents looking to their new grandson in a spell of bliss
With silence speaking all there is to be said.
You're surrounded with everlasting smiles and grins
That fades as soon as you wake from your slumber.
Senseless sorrow sweeps the happiness from your face as you wish for sleep.
It never comes.
You look outside your window.
You spot shifting sands and stretching desert oceans as you sit in sheets of your hospital cot and
weep.
Did you see it?
