The Shore

The surge hits the beach and erases
All the footprints, castles, and faces
Made there despite the nature
Of nothing to last forever

We save what we can by leaving
And tell ourselves, still deceiving
These memories will simply last and last
But the past slips away into the further past

Saltwater, seaweed, and sand
Cast adrift at the touch of your hand
When nothing remains as it did before
Look for me on a different shore
