New Tides

I built a wall around my thoughts
A prison of words painted in reverie
Reality and I are worlds apart
Always greeting, always smiling

I drew a void from the ink of my fears
On the shores of a new beginning
I watched the water fold
But the tides never came, never came

I spoke in silence, a deafening whisper
Phrases they do not comprehend
Connections they do not understand
At least what they seem to pretend

I hid inside my castle of sand
waiting for the sea to rise
For the waves to fade traces
And carry me away to another shore
