All footprints left by this traveler are erased by the tides after he or she has left the shore. This poem reveals that time goes on even after we die, and, eventually, erases all memories of us, the passing traveler. As the tide rises and falls, the traveler, a passerby, "hastens toward the town". There is an oncoming darkness, night, that cloaks the ocean as the waves erase

We would have an overload of grief so heavy that we'd probably all die of a broken heart. What we sometimes forget is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
