A Wheel To Deal With

no dreams at three
no one at sea
winds in from the west
most of  beauty at rest

the moon scans the tides
ripples even on both sides
century old stones lay on the shore
eroded by waves  from days before

there is silence  but no one hears
no one there  all those years
time has gone by, and nature was alone
no one saw what changes have shown

like a page in a story book
that turned but no one looked 
no one saw what time has done
stars captured all  but kept silent and said none.

the sights and sounds of the natural revisions
gone unnoticed, for no one was there to make decisions
perhaps it will never be known for no one saw
only the stars can tell but won’t speak of natures law

A wheel lot (LOL) to deal with!! … Much food for thought here, Doug. ~ Gershon
