The last of the Foreign Verse for this past week is from Midoriryu, fellow Dragon. I've posted her's before and everytime I read her works, they get better and better each time her pencil his the paper. Enjoy.
tonight
as the wind hits your face
you stare blankly into the ocean waters
knowing not of who your with,
or caring at all about what's to come.
simply enjoying the children screaming,
playing in the bittersweet sand.
then slowly you approach the water
your toes go numb,
and as you keep walking
your mind becomes impaired...
ignoring the waves plunging forth
toward your very body.
and now in the far distance
you can hear them crash along the shore;
you didn't realize how far you had gone.
now swimming because your feet
care not to touch the ocean floor,
the waves are getting bigger
forming farther out, where you now are.
suddenly your taken from your grace,
now tumbling without breath
a rush races over you,
as your in a tunnel of flying sand.
several minuets have now passed...
suddenly your free from the entanglement,
as you gasp for air
exhausted and almost lifeless,
you manage to start walking to shore.
it feels good to feel what its like to walk once again
then you give up, fall to the sandy ground.
unconscious lying there,
as the water barely touches your bare feet.
finally you become aware
of what had just occurred,
slowly you rise to your feet once again...
but someone has grabbed your hand,
helped you up in a time of need.
and as you stare them in the eye,
you knew.
