Delight, it come upon a wave forever fluid
In times of lost memories, lost junctures, stored
Away in niches by the bay, where belief meets

Where life's silhouettes of fate are nigh, near
And far; yet are you if read. Declare it!
Proclaim your future out of grasp, an instant
Upon the surfs' foam are moments of was, is,
And yet. See your future if you dare. It is now
In all that is. It is written, don't you know? It's
No surprise to anyone. It came to awaken you,
But you sleep, you forget, you refuse to know.
