Miami

Hearts beating to the sound of thunder
we rose with the ocean swell
riding on waves electric
floating on kaleidoscopic seas

That night,
washed ashore with nothing but the summer breeze
The darkness all around us
we pondered the life of a star

The stroboscopic glamour of the high life
The searing heat of the midday sun
The immortal beauty of star-stuff
Is but a flicker in the dark

Sitting in silence
Mesmerized by the brilliance of it all
No one noticed the march of the tides
carrying our sandcastles out to sea
