Waterways
WATERWAYS
waves infringing on the
shore
tell the next swell there’ll be
more
powerless against the
tide
on vast seas and oceans
wide
WATERWAYS COLLIDE
are we helpless hearts off
beat
as life sweeps us off our
feet
shipwrecked souls that sink
deplete
island egos too far
to reach
WATERWAYS DIVIDE
and so we end before we
begin
fear thwarts our desires
to win
little by little life robbed
and stole
until it gained complete
control
now
passive
WATERWAYS SUBSIDE
