"Say Hello : Wave Goodbye"



I lay cast awash on the ‘Shore of Life’

I’ve seen all the trouble, happiness, love and all the strife

I lie watching the tide come crashing in

Screaming, crying, laughing the waves come crashing in,

They race to the shore opposite me

The ‘Shore of Immortality’

In their race their screams tell the story of their existence

Each wave is coming to its termination – it has travelled its distance

It has travelled the oceans

But yet it still yearns

For one final journey

One last time to ride with the sea

Yet it knows this can never be

In a final vain attempt it tries like every wave before

To speed – so it may never die - to the shore

But alas so has every wave since the start of time craved this immortality

None has achieved it – none has achieved it for death is the greatest reality

All are finally content with their odyssey

Tired, fatigued and fulfilled they slowly fade

Into the sands and sounds of the sea

There; to rest Forever



Their echoing whispers can still be heard-

On every shore – all over the world
