Silver and Sand

Signs of Betrayal

You look so inviting
staring into the silver and sand
shine like the ocean
bright as the sun's reflection sets

gleaming
the brilliance it shows
swallows the strength we hold

the current is moving
as fast as the waves are crashing in
struggle to surface
reaching for light above the swell

gleaming
the brilliance it shows
swallows the strength we hold

drifting from the shore
the on-lookers adore it
never even knowing
what chaos is in store here
overshadowed in its picture perfect sunset
