Life's Dreams

Waves crashing around my ankles Onto the sandy shore below, The tide swirls around my feet like My life, rushing in and crashing onto The beach only to ebb and go Back from whence it came. The sand between my toes moves With the flow. Little patches that Move in and then out with each wave, Just like the ebb and flow of life's Rich tapestries. Snippets of activity That you remember of the day. That life is fragile with pitfalls and Incomplete wishes and desires Mark the time wasted on hopes And ambitions that your life written In water is your only epitaph.
