AGAINST THE TIDE.
I WAS FLOATING,
GOING NOWHERE FAST.
THE WIND WAS BLOWING,
WITH AN ICY BLAST.
SLOWLY DRIFTING,
WITH NOWHERE TO HIDE.
LIFE IS HARDER, AGAINST THE TIDE.
THOUGHT I SAW YOU,
IN A PASSING BOAT.
YOU TOOK PITY.
AND YOU THREW A FLOAT.
I COULDN'T REACH,
EVEN THOUGH I TRIED.
LIFE IS HARDER,
AGAINST THE TIDE.
I HEARD YOU LAUGHING,
AS YOU SAILED AWAY.
I WAS PRAYING,
YOU WERE GOING TO STAY.
IN COMPLETE CONTRAST,
I JUST BOBBED AND CRIED.
LIFE IS HARDER,
AGAINST THE TIDE.
I UNDERSTAND,
THAT YOU HAD TO GO.
LIFE IS EASY,
GOING WITH THE FLOW.
GUESS YOU'VE ALWAYS,
HAD AN EASY RIDE.
BUT LIKE IS HARDER AGAINST THE TIDE.
BEACH BUOY.
2023.
BEACH BUOY.
