Changing Season

The tide comes crashing on the rocks
That lay across with jagged emotion
Waves break the silence and salt our wounds
This storm; not predetermined, such cruel fate

Hope one day the water clears to show serenity
The ocean survives but reveals bleakness within

Hearts clear the mind, hearts cleanse the soul
Slack water brings peace where once was despair
The tide soothes the broken foundations
But the past will never be forgotten

Intentions fade into defeat
The sea tranquil, the soothing sands
And now I know why perfection is hollow
The sun descends, the breeze caresses feeling
The race is straining but still I keep chasing

Moments never last
Rain will start to fall
Warmth still lies ahead
Moments never last

Beyond the sky
An empty promise
From the ashes of a lie

A vacant tide
A calming breeze to cease the thunder
The waters are calm
