Past and future mirror each other
Fixed at the crossing point
In an infinite and combustible present

In the sea of words
Fluid words endlessly mobile
Anything can be described
Anything foretold

In deep and shallow utterances
Live all the metaphors
In cycling currents
All that is possible moves

Some tales are down for deep remembering
Some swim fertile yet unborn,
All the while the ocean shares her stories
Allegoric and relentless as they wash our shore
