what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

a moment frozen,
a thought unspoken
a memory that holds true.

a feeling left ungratified,
disappointment
and denial.

regret,
and fear of pain
once thought,
a chain which binded you.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

but slowly fall the seasons
a leaf,
a flake,
the sun.

unto a new day
time moves on
as thoughts and dreams
will run.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

hold onto laughter
love,
and light.

release the pain
your heart's
strong fight.

remember wisdom,
faith,
and trust.

while all of anger
vanishes,
to dust.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.
