Rhyme 19 Inspiration

December 6, 2024

BY Michelle Kidd

I moved to stand by the ocean

The tides of time

Tick-tocking

Here, now, not forever

I can see eternity in the blueness

A speck of sand

A vast ocean

I squint into the sun

and become one

I am here.

Eternity is mine

As the tide rolls in and out

I moved to the ocean
