Vain my tears, rising unbidden like crashing waves
Endlessly hurled against fate’s uncaring shoals
Breaking me, cast upon the wreckage of my dreams
Who am I to master the longings of my heart?

This wayward child rebels against my spirit
Seeking that which cannot be sought
Wandering through endless sands to find
An empty vision of a fading sunset

Restless thoughts, these specters of the past
That haunt my memories with conceited desires
Ever will I roam this lonesome shore
‘Til peace or love shall call me home
