The sea
I stand alone
Beneath a great, dark sky,
Soft sand covers my toes
And waves caress my feet.
A breeze blows through my hair
And gently calls my name
As oceans meet the rocky shore
Then slowly leave once more...
Unsteady footsteps taken
I've closed my eyes and listen
As forth she bekons me to follow
Into her tender, cold embrace...
In front of such majestic forces
I know that I should fear death,
I know great power when I see it,
Indeed, by now, I should have left.
But beneath a starless sky she waits
And calls her child home
My mother stands upon the sand
And calls her child home...
I look back at the sea again
Shake my head and walk away
Yet as I walk into my mother's arms
I hear the wind calling my name...
