Have you ever seen stars in the sand?

There are sweet tea shores at midnight

Where the skies sit veiled by thunderheads and haze

There, intricately invisible creatures

Glow when kissed

By rough summer soles and searching palms

Maybe the sea

Settled and sweeping beneath canopies of clouds

Misses the star shine glow of above

A trillion miles away

Somehow still carrying comfort and curiosity

Along brilliant beams of brightness

So it searches somewhere within

Lights up its shores like luminescent skies

Waiting in wonder for morning light

To break and bring anew
