The water's calm
serene and beautiful
gently ebbing upon the shore
erroding it away
and giving in return
the clouds roll in
past the mountains
settling atop the water
giving the sunset
the beauty withheld
yesterdays and tomorrows
reflecting off the water
the memories of time
gently drifting off the tide
into the sands
the calm before the storm
the water doesn't budge
nor do i
when nothing remains
and everything stands still

The water's calm
serene and beautiful
gently ebbing upon the shore
erroding it away
and giving in return
the clouds roll in
past the mountains
settling atop the water
giving the sunset
the beauty withheld
yesterdays and tomorrows
reflecting off the water
the memories of time
gently drifting off the tide
into the sands
the calm before the storm
the water doesn't budge
nor do i
when nothing remains
and everything stands still
