Night sea, like a lost child,
    Wandering to and fro;
   Rumbling into forever,
    With no place to go.
   Yielding to the foam-capped waves,
    And pressing on with speed;
   Feeling the need to hurry,
    Rushed by envy and greed.
   Tugging against the moon’s command,
    Not wanting to let go;
   For once released into the night,
    Never a soul shall know.
Against the Tide
