Distant Tides Calling Poem by Christopher Tye

Distant Tides Calling

Time is ebbing away fast as tides come and go,
Life is just a wave commanded by distant tides,
Destiny is not mine to decide, but for the tides to travel,
Prey my pilot will find the distant tides of heaven.

Stars and tides are infinite, but life is short,
For the tides will guide my fate amongst the stars,
For when my life draws to an end and light fades dim,
I will have crost into the stars of heaven.

The tides of time decided my place,
Celestial bodies and gravity at play,
Calling upon distant tides to flow,
The moon and evening star calling upon the tides to dance.

So farewell old friends for distant tides are calling,
Bare no sadness for me as my last journey commences,
For my future lays above in amongst distant stars,
As I journey there on distant tides.
