Oceans of Emotions

As the world washes over me
I can see the sun is setting
Caught upon the tides of woe
I know what’s left forgetting

And like a grain of sand I follow
The tide that pulls me under
Yet not a single belief I held
Was ever torn asunder

Caught in riptides I dare not fight
My soul is brought to sea
And cast down to the bottomless depths
Without some final plea

And there at last in silence found
This grain of sand can be
Something that can spur the growth
Of something more than me.
