Await the Tide

It was a glorious voyage,

Joyous, beautiful and happy;

In the long miles of age,

To the star of destiny.

This life as my vessel,

I sailed the sea of time;

To knowledge’s dwell,

And thoughts fine.

The calm of childhood,

Far away from me, blew;

Youth with a change of mood,

Set my course, strange and new.

Stranded on the sands of failure,

Of the beach I so desired to avoid;

My soul readies the sails for the future,

Looking within, as I await the tide.
