All that Remains

Of Summer and Sand

My sister's touches are of sand

And smell of ocean breeze

They soak in the teal and the blue

And feel of cedar trees

My sister's touches are of summer

Warm and soft and long

They reach about, absorb the sun

And linger on a different fun

But while the sand can hold heat

It holds cold just as well

For when the summer days are gone

What's left is an empty shell

She has the heat and spreads it to others

But looses it to the air

And never manages to look

And wonder 'what's up there'

Underneath, she harbors much life

Beneath her cool, unbreaking waves

She is the breeze that twirls hair around

And leaves you in a daze

But the world is heating, the fish all swarm

The creatures die in masses

And it's a problem made from us humans

As I'm sure you've heard of in classes

Something that we choose to ignore

Time and time again

But how would we treat the earth

If mother nature was our friend?

But yet, seems so still, so calm

But on the inside, she's a ticking time bomb

Like the earth, just warming up

'Bout to go off from the loss of strong
