Sphinx Redux

In the morning we begin
On the wings of everything
Love is blazing in the air
Colors flashing everywhere

Afternoon, come down to earth
Take all we can for what it’s worth
Learn everything’s ingredients
Sell them to the innocents

Evening finds us out at sea
Gazing shoreward helplessly
Everything is sinking deep
So many shells, not one to keep
