Fading Eyes
By James G Piatt
The cold dash
Of ocean waves
Upon heated sand,
The beautiful eternal tide
Entering and leaving
The beaconing shore,
Oh vulgar
Hand of time that takes
My breath away,
Do not make
The ocean disappear,
From my aging and
Fading eyes.
Of ocean waves
Upon heated sand,
The beautiful eternal tide
Entering and leaving
The beaconing shore,
Oh vulgar
Hand of time that takes
My breath away,
Do not make
The ocean disappear,
From my aging and
Fading eyes.
