Drawn by the Tide

Draw bridge creaks wind moans through the steel

Water pulls tide's grip it won't yield

Fishing lines cut through the salt-soaked air

Sand clings to boots like it don't care

Cast the line let it drift let it go

Hook the current where the green waters flow

Anchor down in the bay's embrace

Orion's belt shining on the waves' face

Sea grass sways like it's caught in a trance

Boats rock slow in the moonlight's dance

Buoy bobs marking where dreams might hide

Jeti stands against the restless tide

Cast the line let it drift let it go

Hook the current where the green waters flow

Anchor down in the bay's embrace

Orion's belt shining on the waves' face

Shells crack underfoot crab skitters away

Squid and herring weave in the ocean's ballet

Reel spins tight as the lure dives deep

Baited hope tangled in the secrets we keep

Rocks worn smooth by the crash of time

Clear green water tastes like brine

Salt air bites sharp like a lover's sting

Navigation lost to the wind's wild swing
