Upon the shore

Upon the Shore

Bare foot walking on the beach clad in sweater and blue jeans
My flesh walks on the gritty earth but my mind through healing gentle scenes
The moaning growl of crashing waves sooths my soul and helps me understand
As deep within worry walls begin to crumble 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 walk hand in hand with the distant blue sky line
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.”
