Familiar Tides

I stand outside the distant tide
As it beckons to my soul
My heart is drawn within it wake
As dusk infects the sky
Amber waves of starlit glory
Defy the azure peak
Of sapphire clouds and silver sand
That lay beneath my feet
The night has fallen
Inside my mind
As sleep calls to my heart
Rest my dear child
For tomorrow is yet here
The shadows creep upon the hills
Reaching above the night
Searching for life
To still their aching dreams
Desire unfed by light
They speak in soft whispers
Converse in secret signs
These dark figures
Which stand stark against the time
The winds blows softly upon my cheek
As dark clouds form ahead
The rain is but a mist of sorts
Dampening my head
My sigh is but a gentle wake
Upon the restless storm
Till waves break
Upon the shore
Bringing me to rest
Back home.
