Time and tide

Water akin to the free-flowing soul ...
Turbulence breached by a comforting calmness ...

Waves have steered the sails farther away
Against unfamiliar, unfeeling empty waters
Beyond the vastness of unconquered realms
As time deftly manage to defy all boundaries

No sooner it would unwittingly sail against the tide
Until the waters wash off the gilded shores
Until the sand glistens across the surface
Until the lingering melancholy ebbs to its rest.
