Sands of Time

The ship
A distant vessel
From the shore
Carries her heart

She stands
Forever watching
As it sails off
With her love

She will wait
Feet deeper in the sand
As epochs of time
Don’t control her

She loves him
As he too loves her
But his destiny 
Must be met

This voyage
Is his destiny
She awaits his return
Her destiny
