Moves so the sun as the seconds do run
into all lifetimes combined
as words unsaid and songs never sung
roll on, and roll as before,
towards the sand touched by the hands
of the young and innocent.

Unbidden the waves of thinking today
sink into the sand of my land
and soon I’ll be stuck in a marshy swamp
up to my eyeballs in thoughts
unable to breathe the compacted air
of sweet songs never sung or heard.

Moves so this one but there’s nowhere to go
away from collective thoughts
thinking the future awry
for newborns then to abide.

And the sweet song of happiness, health,
folds into the waves of thought
there to be tumbled and tossed
till its worth is garbled and lost.

The young of today, the innocent, sweet,
eat from the platters of old
and unknowingly think up a feast
of poison and weeds and a world of disease
as a blueprint for what carries on!

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting. I seem preoccupied with the sea these days perhaps because it calls and I don't listen.
