TIDES - By Michael Rock





The tides roll in

etching their patterns on the sand and stone

Some good, some bad

Good memories seem to etch in the sand

and wash away easy

Bad memories etch in the stone

and take a long time to wash away

Why is that so?

Why do we hang onto the bad times longer than the good?

Why do the bad times leave a deeper impression?

Sometimes deep enough to crack the soul.

Time

With time the tides can polish the stone

So in time all etchings will wash away
