I close my eyes the sun feels warm on my skin
Footsteps on sand leave behind me a silent trace
Come look for me and let this journey begin
I’m fighting with time as memories slowly erase
***
Seagulls from far away are calling my name
I remember being here again as a child in the past
Building sandcastles used to be our favorite game
I always wonder why those moments never last
***
Kings and queens once lived on the beach
Knights saved princesses from dragons and thieves
Fairytales were real, the stars we could reach
We made a promise to each other, none of us leaves
***
The years have passed but here I am again
Waiting for you to play like back then.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
