A Wave In the Ocean Lost Forever

As he turns his head The shadows dance upon his face. Each day a new wrinkle appears upon his body. As the man breathes another breath, A life is taken. Each day he cries for what could have been Every moment that passes He wonders when death will present itself The mystery stays in his head On what could have been and what will be. His head is too much in the past and future He is forgetting to live in the present Life sweeps away from him Like a wave in the ocean hitting the shore Never to be seen again. He is too much in his 'what if' He doesn't take the chances in life. His breath is not a waste For this man is an ordinary man who is in every person He is worry and he is fear He is faithless and he is afraid. He is what comes out at night but never in daylight For he is too afraid to show himself. He is what the devil placed in all of us. He is afraid to be despised by mankind And he is ashamed of by the Father, He is SIN.
