Melancholy Sea
The waves and the shore.
A tragedy as old as creation.
Fated to never part,
yet never be together.
The land is immovable,
in the same place until the world caves in.
While the ocean can never stay still,
never know the peace of repose.
The two are trapped in this timeless dance.
Always touching.
Always within reach.
But never able to be held, nor to hold.
A curse as old as the earth itself.
The waves and the shore.
