Beside the tide
I am one person
I am not Society
I am one
No more
No Less
I am one |
Beside The Tide By: Doug Gealy Beside the tide I stand alone and whither By the struggle within Teeth shivering colds Mind numbing burns Colliding gleams of surrendered dreams Stir the truth and shimmer Observe as a fleeting thought simmers Before water boils, watch the steam rise Wisdom welded by the freezing flames of a passing sun Illuminated darkness shedding light once the day is done Dawn is dusks one true love Their pain is great, for they will always be apart When they separate I can see their hearts beating between the stars As I glimpse my own reflection By the struggle within Outside the current I shall remain Society will not consume my soul By the struggle within Not today Because today, Beside the tide I stand alone and whither Wandering to wonder So close is the stream So far away is the dream Passion stirs my purpose and steams My difference defines me So, let me be lonely, let me be different Or don’t I’m me, and I’m here Here, wherever here may be, to stay Until one fine day the passion of my product is ready for display |
