Time Passes

The waves, they crash into my shins.
The sunlight beams upon my face.
The sand beneath my feet I feel
begins to dissipate.
The space between each wave it brings,
The chance anew to brace.

Fire in the sky, kisses the horizon.
She no longer has time to play.
Making way to bring the night
A new chapter, then a new day.
The wind has found its strength again
filling up my sails.
The once calm and forgiving waves
prepare to tell their tale.

The once receded tide
has now risen with ambition.
Taking back which is its own
The sound is unforgiving.

"I am here to stay!" he shouts
and everyone will listen.
Do not forget who gave you power.
Do not forget who gave you permission.
I beg you heed my warning
You dare not stand in my way
My surface will bamboozle you
My undertow will sweep you away.

The moon claims the sky
The sun is laid to rest.
This shore belongs to me
A fact you must not neglect.

Just a few more sirens
No light left to be shone.
Sit back and watch in awe my strength
or bear the wrath to come.

This land is my home
He orates it one last time
should you elect to ignore this consult
All that you will find
That your souls' forever
lost is darkness
There is no more time.
