Like a changing tide you come in and out
As you shift the sands of my mind
Leaving patterns in your wake with your
give and take – Every action is by design
I tumble and toss as you move around
I laugh and I cry and I sing
If I try to touch you your direction shifts
As the hermit crab strides the beach
Yet I sit and I wait ’til the tide comes in
And I embrace you when you arrive
Only to watch you go away again
Every action is by design.
