With The Tide
January 29, 2011
The tide washes in
Without a sin
Without a skin
It has no beauty
It has no rage
I feel so trapped inside its cage
Back and forth it gently flows
Stretching for sand
Then goes
It wants to walk
Cant keep a grip
Into the ocean
It will slip
The pebbles fallow
Onto land
Slowly eroding
Into sand
It wants a friend
It wants a need
It has no purpose to succeed
Into its waters I have stepped
Into its heart I have leapt
Away it takes me
With the tide
For when I’m lost
It is my guide
