Night on Ocean's Edge

Time drifts away like the grains of sand in an hour glass as the night slowly passes The moon shows its double face as the water mystically sparkles What was once written in the sand by the water's edge is no more Washed away by the incoming tide these writings disappear The waves calling with a sound of longing that a sad heart responds to with a bounding leap This place of calming takes the sadness away like the incoming tide Words of hatefulness and sorrow are washed away to disappear in the moon's nightlight The heart is free to love and feel again
