Array ( [sid] => 12371 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Ocean's End [time] => 2003-02-10 20:00:00 [hometext] => Spent a day at the beach last week...have you ever gotten there really early to just watch the tide? no people around just the seagulls and the water, beautiful feeling like you're all alone of this planet, u get this sense of timelessness. [bodytext] => Eternity is a long time.
Weaving every human emotion and memory
In it's lighted vastness.

Sitting at the water's edge...building
A fragile sandcastle for the rushing tides.
The ocean is like a wayward comedy.
Refreshing. Therapeutic.
I feel it's gentle movements...
The swirling little waves of foam easing
My troubled mind.
Like a comedy...
Making me smile...despite its cold.

It ebbs and rises sending
Tendrils of nostalgia.
Mirroring the continuity of existence.
The beginning of time,
The beauty of ancient kingdoms.

Arrival and hurried departure.
A symbol of sorts of how...
People come into your life,
Twisting it out of control,
soaking your heart with their vitality.
And how...just as easily...they depart.
Leaving you cold and confused.

It takes a lot of introspect to see the
Good that comes out of all this.
And somewhere...inside of you...you know it was supposed to be that way.
You know they've left a mark.
A painless little scar that reminds you...
With every beat...
That there's endless more to come.
That our burden's haven't yet begun.
Soon.
The Universe will unfold as it should...
Continuing to brandish its power over us.

Eternity is a long time...
