Susan K. Rowse - Flotsam lyrics

The stream is complacent Its beauty is natural. Mine is inert Heart standing still. Waters beat the sides of oysters... Bedded in silt. All warm and cozy Thoughts are just thoughts... Today. Nothing special. No beauty from within No woodstorks flying Taking me away My heart riding... On their wings The marshes sway... With summer breezes Flotsam travels along As the tide ebbs Nature taking out the trash Beats of a lonely heart Wanting to keep tokens inside Remembrances Words that will never Go away Only the sunshine From my soul Shut off. Laughing gulls mocking My tears Rings of circles From the toe in the creek Growing larger One inside the other Secure... Fading with the wash Reflections of hearts... Souls depressed Dying... In waters Threads broken An oar breaks the water Takes the one Away From... The other And the love Remains... As tears Embrace the rings
