The tides of the ocean<\/p>\n

Rise and fall<\/span><\/p>\n

The lives of you and me<\/span><\/p>\n

Rise and fall<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the tides fade back into the deep-sea<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaving their watermark<\/span><\/p>\n

We too, consume life then fade back into the unknown<\/span><\/p>\n

While leaving our imprint on the hearts of those we love<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Traverse through life with an open heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Attach to optimism<\/span><\/p>\n

Detach from the toxins<\/span><\/p>\n

Love your now<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life can be glorious<\/span><\/p>\n

Death can be unkind<\/span><\/p>\n

The alchemy of life and death \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is a molecular movement through time<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth against truth<\/span><\/p>\n

Tides shift, plans and people pass<\/span><\/p>\n

Devour the now<\/span><\/p>\n

For all we know, <\/span><\/p>\n

Life may be a dream<\/span><\/p>\n
