Within, Without

Whithin, without
The Waves come crashing by
The seashore washes all things smooth
And pulls the sands deeper into the depths

Within, without
The tides advances on
Taking yesterday’s sandcastles
And pulls them deeper into the depths

Within, without
The gentle hush of the sea
As water and air and sand and moon
Pull us deeper into their depths

Within, without
The shells gleam in the light
As the fire dances here with us
And shows us deeper in the depths

Within, without
The mighty ocean rock still stands
Against the waves and their tidal pull
Won’t go deeper into the depths

Within, without
The storms that come will also pass
Upon the rock we sit and reflect
Going deeper into our depths
