UNTITLED
by Stephanie LaPeter

i want to be behind the plastic
of the picture on my wall
by the frothing churning waters
on the jagged crumbling rocks
staring at the sunset
and how the waves caress the sun
soaking up it's beauty
seeing red and blue as one
watching all the fire sink
being put out byt the night
feeling cool spray on my face
and tasting salty air
listening to the tossing waves
as they make love to the shore
underneath the golden clouds
watching daytime die
feeling sunlight on my body
the water creeping on my feet
letting wind blow through my hair
taking away my troubles.
i close my eyes and think of it
and feel the sand between my toes
