Time and Tide
Time passes us by
the tide sweeps the sand aside
one grain lost in the sands of time
just a passing memory in people's minds
what we are....lost in where we are.
who we are is what we try to find.
and Life passes us by
the moon pulls and the tide abides
hands on the clock tick tock
the universal waters weather down the rock.
and we try to hold, grasping on to what we got
but like sand in our fingers, the grains slip
the wood beneath out feet begins to rot
Our worlds crumble
Our feet stumble
Our words mumble
Our luck tumbles
I can feel my heart swelter
mental fog, confusion, helter-skelter
Crawling chills chest exploding
my entire world imploding
and life passes us by
but like the tide on the beach of life
the shimmering blues and golden hues
Those universal waters will take away
and bring in the new
Time and tide will take away
and
renew...renew...renew...
