soak the time, tame the tide
said the happy squirrrel,
without any reservation or pride
i did not know
how do i soak the moments
which are laced with the smiles
of the time that i wish
i had by myself all the while
but alas, i am
not allowed
to seek
the solace that sustains
my quest for peace
i have to run, and run again
so that tide does not carry
the boat anchored in the sea
i am quiet, u too remain quiet
who knows in the silence
will speak
the spirits in balance
