The seas overtake the soil
By inches
Unnoticed
We live oblivious
Seeing only what we choose
Blind to creeping waves
The sands shift back
Beneath swirling waters
Until beaches are submerged
We simply walk
Further inland
Without pause to mourn the loss
Night falls
And our eyes fail us
And the city is filled
With the salt-fresh smell
Of the ocean roaring in
And it is then we know ~
We stood upon a world
Washed away
Denying each change
Until we drowned ~ Caroline A. Slee
