I know the power of the rising tide For beneath my feet rests the shifting sands of time Always ebbing and flowing the water dost erode Each wave tugging and pulling The tiny grains betwixt my toes As the surf rises my foundations wither Casting evil eye to swollen sea my thoughts swell bitter When my balance is interrupted by systematic crashes Gradually displacing and replacing My position along its axis Until finally I am interred within that salty tomb Buried under heavy weight of time ne’er to be exhumed Less the tide decide to recede and expose The monument to a man Who had once claimed to know

Tidal Waves
I know the power of the rising tide For beneath my feet rests the shifting sands of time Always ebbing and flowing the water dost erode Each wave tugging and pulling The tiny grains betwixt my toes As the surf rises my foundations wither Casting evil eye to swollen sea my thoughts swell bitter When my balance is interrupted by systematic crashes Gradually displacing and replacing My position along its axis Until finally I am interred within that salty tomb Buried under heavy weight of time ne’er to be exhumed Less the tide decide to recede and expose The monument to a man Who had once claimed to know
