Tideline

As daylight settles like a distant retreat You pull on emotional chains The shingle rolls under your aching feet

The hopes you had are dashed against those distant rocky shores Stagger to see the pain The tide turns with barely a pause

If the water looks cold It's only a tale that's told The waves imagine a world beyond the brine

If your dreams aren't so bold It's not because you're old The seaspray chases way above the tideline

Tideline Breakers from the storm Broken at the full moon at the time that you were born

Tideline The memory of the norm Reminder of a new moon before the dawn

As morning wakes, the darkness slips away Failure all forgotten now the light is holding sway

A million more regrets on the tide washed away The secrets we forget, there's nothing more to say
