Fleeting moments

Before me lay the ocean

Its endless waves flowing into the horizon

The once-calm waves now turbulent

Footprints of memories washed away in the sand

I dipped my hand  into the cold waters

Submerging myself beneath them

My feet sink deep into the sand

And I am held there, in place

It felt so similar yet different

As the ocean waves slipped past me 

Tempting me to wonder

Where had all the time gone?
