Time and Tide

Time waits upon no one

in its passing we find little

to be permanent

for with time also comes

the tide

high and low

offering an ever changing shoreline

as waves crash upon our beaches

During the low we find many

who write in the sand

others who build their castles

knowing full well

that the tide will change

It matters not

that the writings contain words

of pain or of love

the tide will carry them out to sea

It matters not

if the castle is built

large or small

in the end the sea dismantles them

Whether roses or rubbish

the changing tides

alter the face of our beaches

it is the nature of the sea

Though time and tide

wait for no man

they are ever changing

Time

heals all wounds

it also brings sorrow

Tide

ravishing or lives

yet able to wash away our pain

Lives that are filled with pleasure

others that are filled with pain

all become subject to them
