Upon The Beach

Upon the Shore

Bare foot walking on the beach clad in sweater and blue jeans

My flesh walks on the gritty earth my heart through healing gentle scenes.

The moaning growl of crashing waves sooths my soul as I understand

As deep within worry walls collapse and fall just like the sparkling sand. 

 As it races to the shore, the sea whispers to my soul “Come walk with me once more.”

And so upon the cool gray ground I soar where sea and sky entwine.

No earthly friend could ever touch my soul like this ancient friend of mine.

Though I’m not a bird no wings sprout from my mortal flesh

Yet my soul has taken flight set free once more from Terra’s tangled mesh.

As it races to the shore, the sea whispers to my soul, “Come walk with me once more.”

A thousand pricks and bleeding wounds are healed in one blessed hour

And every beast that lusts for my soul oh ancient sea you easily devour.

Beneath your mystic pulse and wash the blood stained earth is scoured bright and clean

Like the sun bleached shells the bones of war are scattered lifeless and serene.

As it races to the shore, the sea whispers to my soul, “Come walk with me once more.”

Some distant day peace with crown this dreary little sphere.

Then my longing soul can rightly say I want to be right here.

Until then upon the beach I’ll walk and let my spirit flee

And revel in the hush and roar of the sighing pounding sea.

As is races to the shore, the sea whispers to my soul, “Be with me forevermore.”
