Waves

Keith Lankford 1964 (AL)

Days rolled by in waves
Crashing gently to the shore
Eating away the weeks
Weeks and months
Months and more

Slowly taking from me
Another year another life
Struggling to remain free
From this world so filled with strife

I find myself now drowning
I find myself now free
I find calm and peace at last
As the last wave washes over me
