More than a pillar of sand

If I surround myself with beauty

Perhaps I can appear beautiful again ~

See

There is a rose ~

Languid petals

Almost floating

Like an anemone ~

And there ~

And there ~

Perhaps a daisy or two ~

But I like the one

Not far from my draped hand ~

Do you see what looks like

A sweet

Tiny shell ?~

Somehow

I think of

Atlantis ~

That island you think is fantasy

But I know

Is real

~

You see

Not far from this island

I was born ~

Born of the sea ~

In fact

You know who I am ~

I am that beauty

That lover

Who charmed men

(And gods) ~

My beauty was legendary ~

What you see now

Are just sands of my former self

~

Born of the sea

To the sea I must return ~

This is my moment

Quietly

Waiting

For sandy waves

To be real

For the sea to take me home

Home to be foam ~

And once again

I can be

Glistening

Beautiful

Aphrodite
