Footprints 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 so close to the brink

walking along the sea`s edge

standing between two domains

two worlds, oh so different

yet each one one, life reigns

leaving foot prints in the sand

and watch them fade by the sea

walking along the tidal path

listening to the tranquilly....!
