Footprints

Ocean waves suffocate the sand beneath,
Clouds scatter across the sky
Like April showers,
Seashells slip deeper into the sand
Like lost treasures,
Footprints left in the sand
Quickly washed away by endless waves,
The ocean deserted, visited
Only by fish swimming aimlessly around,
Salt settles at the bottom of the ocean
Like a sunken ship,
Life unknown, life forgotten.
