Birth of an ocean

Time

Gracefully

Erases every color.

Too swift and efficient

For an artist to repaint.

Time

Nimbly

Unties every knot.

Too determined and precise

For a sailor to retie. 

Time

Patiently

Melts every snowflake.

Too warm and effective

For a heart to preserve.

Time

Eventually

Fuses every piece of memory

Into a peaceful ocean.

 A sail no longer needs navigation.
