Drinking and dancing
under the sky
Sunrise is coming
and you don’t know why
you’re still up on the beach
waiting for the waves
to bring
the light of dawn and sunrays
Shining light on the youth
strewn on the beach
Impatient
For the new day to begin
and a new night to come
Another musical voice
of memories and laughter
Sadness is brimming
under the surface
Yet everybody’s there
and the suffering is silenced
with the company and joy
of every moment spent in youth
Together,
for now never apart

Poem by Isabella Stanich
