Here At the Ocean

Here at the ocean, safely inside, views that conspire Salt in the air, shadows that lie, in the dark of the night She was love, without kindness, trying to escape sunset Sands moving time, the tide retreats, platinum foam The air of night, sea-gulls crash, no feelings to secure you My shadow runs, the dawn of light smiles, honesty screams Wait in this place, my lover is in flight, fire in her eyes Contentment is fear, loneliness is patience, green with envy I’ll wait for my love, by the sea, where the sun never shines ~Rick Berry
