Left behind on the beach

LEFT BEHIND ON THE BEACH

Left behind on the beach:

A single name

written neatly  on the sand

An enormous castle near the sea

patiently waiting to be consumed by the darkness of the waves.

Left behind on the beach:

Glistening water,

secret shell treasures,

Beautiful sunshine,

Chips laying alone,

left behind lunch.

Left behind on the beach:

A fishing trip,

Bringing delicious lunch,bait,

Fishing rods for Dad,

dark sunglasses for Mum.

Left behind on the beach:

Deep dark water,

A far off broken ship,

the swish of water,

and the clomp of turtles feet slowly walking into the water.
