Of Time and Tide

Of Tide and Time

... That day.. like all others..

... was different .. I began........

Here I am by the sea,

no one else here only me,

this is how it ought to be,

just me, the sky and the deep blue sea....

Wait a moment!   whats this I see!

a message carved into a tree!

drifiting ashore from some far land,

I'll try to reach it with my hand....

Water up, to my knees, I haul the log ashore with ease,

the words are clear,  I slowly read,

....'This tree you see was once a seed'.....

I turn my gaze towards the waters,

Mermaids smile like Neptune's Daughters,

their gravity pulls strong and grows,

the Tide of Nature ebbs and flows.

And so my story nears the end,

just one small thing to do thats..

'Send'..

.....it..

...to....

*you* ....
