Sand

By Chad W. Lutz

the ocean churns
to my right

the east

a signal
of new
beginnings

tonight
is the 

full
moon

& we’ll dance

to the light
of a fire

the sand
will be our
stage

our spirits
will be our
music

as the hour toils
our lives in ways

we have yet
to understand

yes we’re
dancing tonight
