Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Beach’s Stroll
Hand in hand they stroll along the shore
Sandy footprints dissappear as swiftly
As they’re made, as their hands swing
Freely under the warm daylight, sunny
Ritulant rays caressing the fleeting time
That becomes nothing but memory
Imprinted on her heart, heavy crime
Of loss’ grime, leaving a residue of a ghostly
Chime of forgotten laughter,
Cuddles on scratchy sand that lingers
Longer than loss’ clam, whose wonder
In living without her partners’
Support, that she’s not a fan.
She gazes into the horizon
Waiting for a sign of rejoining the pan
That simmered with their love, not a poison
That could separate their camaraderie,
Understanding both weaknesses
And strengths that made the family
An unbreakable unit whose support suppresses
Stresses and anxieties built
In society to promote division
Of familial bonds so that compassion
Is lost, replaced by materialism and guilt.
