Sands of Tide (a poem)
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009I wrote this poem a looong time ago. I like it, so I thought I’d post it here for more people to see. Enjoy.
Sands of Tide:
The tide it crawls
looming to shatter and batter
my sandcastle walls.
build, build, build
sand, sand, sand
I have to fight and protect the people
of this sandcastle land.
The lord of this nation
lauds me for his
land’s salvation
but I see… I see,
as the waves come and go
the tide it comes in
ever so slow.
as the water batters
I keep fighting it back
with sand and stone
but the walls, they moan
cos they know their time is nigh
when the tide is high.
look honey, he is having such fun under the sun.
indeed…
indeed… indeed?
the tide, it feeds my sandcastle walls
one more wave and it will fall…
it did.
I went home.
The tide receded.
Tomorrow, I’ll fight again.
