Ebb Tide

by sloanranger

I think this much is true ...

I shall be with you.

People and places come and go - 

and like tides, things recede.

Until then,

how can we know

what lies below?

Perhaps for a time we are

meant to love from afar;

perhaps this tension, suspension  -

is necessary to some scheme,

some plan of the stars.

They say neither time nor tide

confounds true love -

that such feelings,

come blessed from above.

I don't know if this is true,

I only think ...

I shall be with you.
