Staring at the ocean before me
Awed at its vastness
There is an unfamiliar pull
And I revel in its presence
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Unaware of time passing
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It leaves me unwanting
Receding tide, dimming light
Snapped me from my reverie
Realizing moments lost
Each and every
Black and white
Falling one after the other
Such was the plight
Escape was inevitable
Unmasking the thespian
Acted like a jester
Destroying the borrowed glass
Into a million pieces they shatter
The crumbling of the house of cards
Has long been prophesied
Picking up the scattered shards
Stepping out of the menagerie
