These Old Waters Are Starting To Run Low
by
Daniel Bradbury
These old waters are starting to run low
Time & tranquility taking their price,
Their toll.
each day the old tides are ebbing back lower & lower
And the old waves keep lapping up
But they seem to be moving slower.
What is this odd effect of time?
Why are my favorite places just drying up and dying?
It seems, at times, that this new desert
is creeoing into my mind,
& laying claim to my soul.
I look toward the horizon for the torrent of torment rains,
But, these old waters just keep running low.
Time and tranquility take their toll.
