Waves crashing around my ankles
Onto the sandy shore below,
The tide swirls around my feet like
My life, rushing in and crashing onto
The beach only to ebb and go
Back from whence it came.
The sand between my toes moves
With the flow. Little patches that
Move in and then out with each wave,
Just like the ebb and flow of life's
Rich tapestries. Snippets of activity
That you remember of the day.
That life is fragile with pitfalls and
Incomplete wishes and desires
Mark the time wasted on hopes
And ambitions that your life written
In water is your only epitaph.
