SANDS OF TIME

Footsteps along the violent sea

The dashing waves collapse on the beach

The vast horizon continues endlessly

And ends at eternity.

As I place my foot on the sand

An imprint is what is left behind

As I advance to a second step

The imprint is washed into the sands of time

I try to save it there

But the waves just wash it away

Just like moments in life

Fade away with space and time

I want to store them far away

Where they would forever remain

Where they would be at bay

From every sorrow and pain

Then I look at the mighty waves

See them rising and collapsing endlessly

See that every wave has an end

When it flows on the imprint slowly

I then realize

My imprint is not lost forever

It lies somewhere within the depths

Where every person who walked this earth ever:

Exists as remnants of history
