Memories by Erika D.

Footprints fading in the newly wet sand

The sun is now set low in the blue sky

Memories only we can understand

The laughter remembered will never die.

Holding hands and jumping the rolling waves

We smiled as we had read each other’s minds

We knew how to test if we were each brave

Diving under water for ocean finds

Collapsed together softly on our backs

We watched as the clouds transformed above us

Each of us are as equally relaxed

We found the simplest things that we discussed

Now I’m sitting here on the weathered dock

The time now passed is like a ticking clock.

erika,
ok wow this was really good.
i think that the words are about a memory from a girl friend and boy friend.
the speaker is deff a girl.
i think there are a couple moods in this poem. it is happy in the beginning because you see a couple being together and having fun. but then towards the end you get the sense that she is alone.
love it!
