Shores

Shores



By J Newton



I remember dusk-blanketed shores.

Sand and shingle like freedom beneath our feet.

Laughter and tears at 3am,

When we were untarnished by life.



I remember the smile in our eyes.

Cloud droplets of magic

Lighting up the night.

Friendship and secrets shared in the dark

And buried down deep in the sand.



I remember when the future shone

So brightly in the dark.

Nothing would keep us

From sparkling in this poisonous filth.

Nothing but reality.
