Tideline
As daylight settles like a distant retreat
You pull on emotional chains
The shingle rolls under your aching feet
The hopes you had are dashed against those distant rocky shores
Stagger to see the pain The tide turns with barely a pause
If the water looks cold
It's only a tale that's told
The waves imagine a world beyond the brine
If your dreams aren't so bold
It's not because you're old
The seaspray chases way above the tideline
Tideline
Breakers from the storm
Broken at the full moon at the time that you were born
Tideline
The memory of the norm
Reminder of a new moon before the dawn
As morning wakes, the darkness slips away
Failure all forgotten now the light is holding sway
A million more regrets on the tide washed away
The secrets we forget, there's nothing more to say
