Time.

Time is but an ocean, deep,

with every rise and fall to weep.

The mood it changes day to day,

it picks you up, and sweeps away

to break upon the furthest shore

and leave you wanting, needing more.

Never ending, or relenting

always turning, reinventing.

Nice depiction of the moody sea. I might use farthest here rather than furthest. Churning could be cool too ... but I've said enough. Enjoyed!

Thank you darkpool, I will

Thank you darkpool, I will look again at 'furthest' shore, the 'turning' is about how things suddenly change direction rather than the action of the sea. It's very kind of you to comment and offer suggestions, I certainly do appreciate it thank you again :-) Sue.
