Water Beached
I’m the force that is open
Pushing out to the shore
Will the winds by their token
Help me swim for more
I swim all day
After shock of the hope is
Playing on my healing mind
When will tremors and delays bring
A steady peace of some kind?
I wait all day
When I find what I’ve been dreaming
Maybe then I can go to sleep
It’s the draft from the ocean
Makes me turn and weep
I cry all day
But I will soon be free
Until I die
I’m on my way
And then too late
My tears will cry
On heavy gate
Strewn across the open fields
How tall is the barley
How strong is the harvest
That hides my way
And when I die
I will see the rainbowed haven
Crossing over the blue sky
Maybe you’ll be there and able
To finally understand why
I’m on my way
Surfing out to the ocean
Sailing on my barren feet
Footprints linger seconds only
Sinking timely in retreat
I run all day
The tide moves further into dreamland
Escaping on its steady fours
How long will my wind hold?
Before it shrinks and leaves the shore
It runs away
But I wont be beat
I’m on my way
Until I die
Till then I’ll fly
I’m on my way
