Waiting

Waiting for the waves, the quiet sways were overlooked, the beautiful beaches were ruined, the soft sand was bent, waiting for kindness, the soft words were mocked, the signs of healing were trampled, the silent smiles faded, waiting for shelter. Weak ropes are broken Sweet tents are destroyed Soft rocks have melted while waiting for peace White paths have been avoided Growing roots have been eradicated Wise hands have been denied Waiting for boats Tall trees neglected Wood The raft was destroyed and the sand house was berated
