As I Watch the Waves Crash

I feel so small and so insignificant
Waves so tall like white wall magnificent
Smelling new blue rain coming fast
Feeling pink pain in my bones so bad

Memories of the two of us 
At the beach so new in love
As I watch the waves dart and dash
I should have known we would not last

Reveries of present seagull day
Ride the stream across the wave
New love is on the way, sweet like wedding cake
I believe in true love today.

I watch waves crash as life twist and turns
We pour ashes from a solid gold urn
Loving life and dealing with death’s burn
Waves teach us faith and why we must learn.
