On the Sandy Shores...Don't Know Why
I sat on the sandy shores on that warm evening. My cheeks tinted with a pinch of scarlet and stained with old and never ending tears.
My sisters…are no longer by my side…
I grabbed up the wet grains of sand as they squished through my fingers and threw it at the water. I watched as it scattered miserably and sunk away into the ocean waters.
Sunk away…just like my sisters…just like my feelings.
I wanted to go back…back to when the earth, the sun, the stars… all aligned… back to where my life the same and I had my sisters close to me…
How could they die on me? I said I would be back…it was jus a harmless party…just a harmless house party…
Tears began to stream down my face again as I looked up into the August skies. The ginger-amethyst swirled sky lightly passes over head and to the horizon. I pulled out my pad and pencil…and began to write…
I was going to write a song…I was going to write a song for my sisters:
I…waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come…
Tears began to quickly trickle down my face and land on my song making the led from the pencil smudge. I quickly wiped it away with my sweater. I looked up at the sky as the breeze lightly picked up making my hair blow in my face. I sighed an aching and throbbing sigh. A lump formed in my throat. I wanted to get away….just get away from everything and everyone. I turned my thoughts back to my melody…
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
Suddenly I felt a drop of water land on my nose. It was raining warm water. I quickly put my pad under my clothes and looked up at the sky. The sky…is crying too…
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I looked down at my pad and read the words I had written. I then pulled out my guitar and began strumming…singing the melody…singing the song I had written about my feelings and for my sisters…
The rain soon got heavier and it was time to get home…going home without my sisters was what I would have to do from now on…
R&R
Well? What do you think? It's my first so no haters but I do appreciate constructive criticism. And if you with to look up this song on youtube or something like that it's called 'Don't Know Why' by Norah Jones. I recommend that you watch it because it's really a very beautiful song.
