River-water Reaches the tide Abandons the shore Rainclouds gather Sending it back to the land Broken islands Floating in time Meeting once more New horizons A future is born on the sand Tensions come and tensions go Toward the tide, all rivers flow Toward the sun, all mountains climb Between all things lies only time Thundering crack Earth-moving roar Island departs from its origin shore Fading away Leaving the sand Gone till the day when it comes back around
