Silver and Sand

You look so inviting,
Staring into the silver and sand.
Shine like the ocean,
Bright as the sun's reflection sets.

Gleaming (The brilliance it shows),
Gleaming (The brilliance it shows),
Swallows the strength we hold.

The current is moving,
As fast as the waves are crashing in.
Struggle to surface,
Reaching for light above the swell.

Gleaming (The brilliance it shows),
Gleaming (The brilliance it shows),
Swallows the strength we hold.

Drifting from the shore,
The on-lookers adore it.
Never even knowing,
What chaos is in store here.
Overshadowed in its picture perfect sunset.
