Tides of Time


Turn On Your JAVA

Sands drift through life's hourglass
Like everything was meant to be
My past, present and future hopes
Cast adrift on eternity's endless sea

Memories come flooding back to haunt
My mind swims in a whirlpool of dreams
Cloudly days descend to shroud my heart
Hopes soaring on ancient sunlight's beams

Visions of you descend and comfort me
Lost and alone in a dark vast ocean
Returning me to those perfect times
Lulled to sleep with your love's motion

A sudden squall and all my peace is lost
Helpless I try to swim against the tide
Resigning my fate to death's watery grave
Drowning from the desperate pain inside

Drifing across life's murky waters
Bouyed up on a raft of past regrets
I set course for those far off lands
Where heart and mind can at last forget
