The Tide Goes Down

The Tide Goes Down

Upon me, the sun shines,

Toward me, the waters glide,

Gazing, dreaming, closing my eyes.

Nothing exists, but I.

A heaven of light,

A realm of peace.

Warm, happy, bright -

Doing anything I please.

Above me, the moon glows,

Beneath me, waters shrink away.

Revealing the unnoticed terror that grows,

While we were bathing in rays of gold.

A land of fear,

A maze of cold

Shadowy, forbidden, unclear -

Dread gripped me in its deathly hold.

Upon me, the sun shines,

A heaven of light.

Above me, the moon glows,

A land of fear.
