Temptuous Tide
I used to gather
where the bridge crossed the bay
Pausing in the ebb of
the changing tide .
I tried to capture
the moment of the ebb's decay
She came to me
with soft words of call
Left messages saying
she's not sure about it at all
The sea follows the
ways we know not
our separation was complete
we left our ancient past behind
to tread upon this land
on our own two feet
Shake the dust from your call
dress the shadows
make the sun fall
words of deliverence
wet the tongue's
parchment and thirst
The tide remains constant
demanding , relevant
with unrelenting presence
It is married to the bay
In a never ending struggle
of give and take
