Just Like Her Memories

 Just Like Her Memories

Here and Gone. 

She barely catches a glimpse. 

A lone shell revealed by the receding waves. 

For a fleeting moment, its beauty shines. 

Then in a flash whisked away by the sea. 

Vanishing as fingertips brush the surface. 

Almost within her grasp. 

Here. Then Gone. 

Here and Gone. 

She waits for the water to settle. 

Knowing a treasure is hiding below. 

There! Right within reach. 

Racing against the waves, she plunges for the shell. 

But alas…Empty. 

The moment is lost. Again.

Here. Then Gone. 

Just like her memories.
