Shifting Sand

Looking out 
beyond the reef 
beyond the minds 
bend 
toward the horizon 
imaginations 
play sweet 
harmonious lullabies 
of days gone by 
and the best 
are yet to come 
somewhere 
out there 
tides will rise 
shifting sand 
carry footprints
out to sea
memories 
a gentle reminder 
that we are 
merely mortal 
after all 
end of the day 
nothing will 
remain the same 
eyes close 
drift away 
to a place 
now and then
the future 
holds a bright light
leading the way
gentler times
left behind
cherish the moments
of promise and forever 
permeating the senses
