Anagapesis



I once visited a beach
And got to witness everything
That happens from sun rise till sunset
How the sand collect the prints of different souls
From young to the elderly
But I didn't understand
How the tides of the oceans anger
Wipes away the evidence of those who skated on it though out the day
How it quietly wipes aways their print during the night when it's calm and in harmony with the moon
But that's until I felt nothing when mine eyes collided with yours
And mine body collided with the same ground yours is standing on
Then I realized anagapesis took place

About this poem
