The sea and the stars.

She stayed there

Huddled up

In a blanket of sand

With ocean water

For cocoa

All evening

And all night

Staring up at the sky

She tilted her head

It was blue, blue like the ocean

But darker, much darker

Dark like rippling shades

Of aquamarine

She lifted her hand

Tracing

The silver dust in the sky

The tiny light bulbs

The bursts of glitter

That shone

That shone, just for her

They glimmered

In the navy blue sky

And faded

Just like she did

But they always, always

Came back on

Bright, and smiling

She smiled

Turning on her backside

Lifting her pinky

And tracing two words in the sand

I'm beautiful.




The end.
