REACHING FOR HOPE

i was laying on the beach sideways
sand tore through my insides
i breathed it in
and out
i made it here but what was that pain
where my foot should have been?

through one eye i saw the others
they were reaching up
the boats more together then when i left
the blue of the sea
made me want to go back

but oh how they swayed
the sky reached down to scoop them up
and 3 perfect doves
smiled down from their blue world
calling them home to the other side
of hope
