Of Youth and the Sea

Crashing waves!
Resounding silence thunders round you
You revel in the unknown depths of shallow
greens, greys and blues.

On a familiar barren shore
You seek out where you used to hide
Cluthching only what you're willing
to surrender to the tide.

With no where else to lay the blame
You make misery your own
It wears so well upon you
and becomes your wayward home

You've made your case and staked your claim
To the bitter tasting truth
We are nothing! We are nothing!
Sadly, nothing without youth.
