the tide pulled out too far this time my feet floundered, sank deeply into the sands digging in did no good you are gone and nothing shall change that reality and even if a new tide should wash across these feet, they will resist any feelings of refreshment, any hope of standing upon solid ground or will they? |

There's always hope that they will, to be all the stronger for the next tide... I love your metaphor in this one! Ben “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

No matter how warm the sun shines, or how cool the water runs, resisting is the most painful! Wonderful expression Kacy, this feels so real! |

Enjoyed this, Kacy. Yes, one doesn't ever really know until there in the tide of the times. |

Kacy....or will they? My favorite tide is the one that leaves all that wet sand, and yet it never lasts.  |

Sand and water are so unpredictable. May you find the refreshment and solid ground.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

You are gone and nothing can change that which was but the memory still remains pure |

I understand this in its sadness but also in its hope I've been standing on that shore for years |
