Foot prints in the sand

As the ocean ebbs and flows
frothing with each gentle wave
as the sea licks at the sand
it`s life force to land, it gave

two worlds that come together
where salty water meets sand
yet both can be volatile
flowing liquid, shifting land

from mighty gods up above
moon influencing the sea
tidal events twice a day
move back and forth steadily

what appears terra firma
isn't as sturdy as you think
but are ever shifting sands
and ever close to the brink

walking along the sea`s edge
standing in between two domains
two worlds oh so different
yet land is where man remains

leaving foot prints in the sand
and watch them fade by the sea
walking along the tidal path
listening to the tranquilly....!
