Tide Ripples
Shut down all of the shops
Black out the sun
Close the door to tomorrow
Now it means nothing to anyone
Hide beneath the rocks and trees
Silence the songs of the birds
I want nothing to do with these memories
Lock them, curse them, I throw away the key
Stop the flowers in full bloom
Pull down all of the blinds
I shout to the sky.."Show me YOUR face"
Not a whisper or sound
Just the stars to look down
Now the ripples in the water fade away
Taking with it, every precious moment
Of yesterday...
Inspired by the amazing works of W.H. Auden
