Minds Tides

The trees rustling, sound like the oceans
Coming up to shore and going out

Slowly calming sounds of the motions
Knowing a crab is walking all about 

My life is also like the oceans 
Constantly seeking approval of life

All we have is our emotions
Screaming into our eyes


As I’m laying here, not by a beach or a crab
But reality is sad, but clear

My back is flat as if on a slab
Restfully and peaceful, but longing to be there

Mind slowly shutting down
Darkness claims my body

My dreams are spotty
But always around.
