The waves come crashing to the shore,
now, just as they did before.
The tides, they push,
the tides, they pull.
What happens when my heart is full?

Dark clouds hang over darker waters,
foreboding pain for sons and daughters,
Winds strengthening,
prevailing tough,
I cannot take this, have enough.

The distance makes the sun shine brightly,
through the clouds atop the sea.
It does not falter,
not now, not then.
So I’ll go on, as long as I can.

Fog once asked: Why do they fear us?
Forest answered: I could not guess.

Do they think that we harvest danger?
They know we don’t, they are no stranger.

Is it maybe the unknown?
Discovery lies there alone.

Could they be scared to go astray?
I do not change when I am gray.

So how come they don’t wander here
while we’re together if not for fear?
I do not know, i am sincere.

The pages creak, the lighting flickers,
and in the deep, old wisdom bickers.
It wants to be loose, wants to run free,
for it cannot choose, just happens to be.

Treat it with care and try not to bend,
lay the words bare and read ‚till the end.
It won’t be in vain, please let the words enter,
because without chain they can be a mentor.

So read all you can and cherish the thought,
that since you began you learned quite a lot.
There really is no single book,
that wasn’t worth the look you took.
