Out There

Out There 

By Paul McCann

Out there on a boat floating beyond where the waves break ,

you can catch a sunflake ,

like a moment that you make  .

Sometimes its nice to leave the world behind

like a heartache you can’t take no more

time to get away ,  walk away .

Escape from the rat race into an open place ,

Where the horizon touches the sky

out on the ocean , surrounded by water and sky .

There are no mountains to climb out there where seagulls fly .

When your far away from the land and the golden sands of another time    . 
and another place ,

You don’t have to face anyone today

Because you’re out there

in a peaceful place  and everythings ok . 

The ocean is everywhere and there’s not a care in the world for you  . 

Its so peaceful fishing out there in the sun

until the day is done and the stars shine down on the water

where nothing really matters except the wonder of it all

and you can see how small

and insignificant you really are .

Just a speck on the ocean with the stars above ’

and part of this cosmos we are travelling in .

Out there it seems such an open space

and the sun so faraway sends down warmth to shine upon the water

Where you can be on a boat afloat

so far away from the city streets 

and back yard parties and back packers in beer gardens  

where there are fire crackers and fights starting and the only thing left to share is 

chaos and headaches but somehwere in the pathos of life you can be out there

where the air is salty air and water is everywhere

out there so far away from land and you can get to understand 
the beauty of an open place with no avenues or points of views , 

Just the distant lights of the stars in the sky

As you close your eyes out there and capture a moment passing by   .
