Days To Forget

The footprints I leave seem to follow me
Curved, un straight, but always true
I left my mark in the sand
Gave me a sense of self, pride
Until the great tide washed away
All I had made

The ships on the horizon of setting sun
Make me lethargic for a sail
to be captain for a day
Just feel alive in surf

What's next?
Where do I go?
Doesn't matter to the moon
And the silver's so bright
I don't care to be anywhere else
Just the water, moon, and me
We whisper secrets to the wind

I long for a whiskey or scotch
That my life wouldn't be such a botch
I'm a blip in time
That the days will soon forget

Sun doesn't hold a ray for me
For I would be to bright too comprehend
For it's always the wisest
That go overlooked, on a hook

We're all as fish in the oceans of life
Cast us off to live another day
Where we'll blur into city sidewalks
With construction and obstruction

The sun will beat
On my days to forget
