The Call of the Tide

136 37 30
                                    

Let the tide carry my soul

                   out to sea.

Let the moment of a

sandcastle washing away speak to me

                   of loss.

The soft songs of crashing waves filter into

my ears. Sands blow into tornadoes with

the crackling of fine brown leaves, riddled with holes

like the foam the sea carries home.


If the gull's cry was loud enough to

break the call of the tide, I would open my eyes,

see the castles washed away by the ruthless waters,

recreated from the hand of

                                            my own self.
