Time waits for no one <br />As well I do know, <br />Things come between us <br />And then the years go, <br />Watching and waiting <br />It will never be, <br />As stones on the shoreline <br />Are lost to the sea. <br /> <br />Rain clouds are weeping <br />And lost in their rhymes, <br />Hearts have been broken <br />Far too many times, <br />Moving emotions <br />And tears flowing free, <br />As stones on the shoreline <br />Are lost to the sea. <br /> <br />Waves are now breaking <br />And there is no end, <br />My dreams have been shattered <br />And they will not mend, <br />Rising and falling <br />And hidden from me, <br />As stones on the shoreline <br />Are lost to the sea. <br /> <br />Out on the ocean <br />That's so clear and blue, <br />My spirit is sinking <br />And fading from view, <br />I'm all alone now <br />With my misery, <br />As stones on the shoreline <br />Are lost to the sea.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stones-on-the-shoreline/
