Sand . . . . . I write my self in the sand of the shoreline of you Wishing the waves would just wait another second or two I’ll write it again and wait one more time For the sliding of oceans and the lifting of tides It’s all I can do, to give all that I have Without filter, reserve, or meting by hand To muffle these waves would only belie the truth More tracings in sand and longings for you . #poem #poet #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writing #poetsofig #writer #poetrycommunity #poems #wordporn #writersofig #words #spilledink #instapoet #poets #creativewriting #instapoem #writers #writerscommunity #instapoetry #writingcommunity #spokenword #poetryisnotdead #ncpoetry #ncpoet #northcarolina
