Turning Tides.

Turning Tides.

She never played truant, no one
taught her
how to, put down, her books, hide them
away,
how to be carefree, for a day.
But one day, he
carried the burden of them
for her, the next, he set
aside,
and together they ran carefree and
bare-foot
upon the golden sand, watching the tide turn.
