Sedimental
The tide has come in
When it resides; the sediment will sit upon the land and linger like a scar.
It will fade and weave with the remnants of a lost shore to become part of the brilliant isle that sits. Desolate.
The nefarious beach waiting to be found by more than some sediment will keep bits and pieces from every tide that comes. The ebb and flow will take from the once shimmering sand of the bank and diffuse to other shores and t'will leave a scratch on the dwellers of the deep.
About this poem
It is a poem about the loneliness of not getting anything you want or need because of people's expectations on what you should or should not be based on other people's rules and the anger that it can lead to. It's also about the bits and pieces we collect from each other along the way. The marks we intend and don't intend to leave because of our anger or our innocence. Hurt people hurt people.
