I would like to thank my Authors and Illustrators teacher, Miss Amy Young.

Waves

Watch as the tide comes in, moving, flowing, growing,

and  that's  when  you  realize  you  and  the  water  are  not  the 

same.

 

You  are  stuck  in  a  standoff, watching  waves  crashing  and 

moving, knowing  they are  about  to  leave  you.

When  I  grow  old  and  vanish  into  the  sand, place  me  atop  a quilt,  vibrant  and lively, awake  and  constantly  changing,

so  that  I  can  hug  those  who  are  fastened  to  their  sorrows, mind  and  feet glued  to  the  shifting  sand  too  heavy  to

 move, and  carry  them  to  the  current.
