Time Will Tide

Time and tide

Forever entwined, 

Wait for none as often said.

I heard the tide tiptoe in gently

At first, 

Then the rush 

When it heard me welcome open arms.

All the splash and churning tugs,

Time felt rushed but still,

I surrendered to the web of love.

The waves I rode 

Time dilation I wrote, 

The gravity of passion

Left nothing to rationale.

At first, the spaced-out highs

The fervour seemed on occasion dip,

The measure of infinity got timed

Oh yes! The universe was on its shrink.

The ebb had begun, 

The silence grew daunting,

The memories turned haunting,

The salt failed to preserve the time, 

The stillness too had a length.

Time and tide

Like us entwined, 

Love and longing wait for none.
