The Tide's Tale
Wanting solitude I walked by the sea
Anxious sky, plunging surf , gulls calling..
I left a trail of footprints in the sand.
I saw a ship far out, sails torn by the wind
It rolled and heaved and staggered…
I left a trail of footprints in the sand.
I heard a ship went down that day
With never a monument erected..
But I remember that lonely day
And footprints in the sand
