Atlantic
Standing at the oceans edge
I'm braced against the tide.
Letting loose of memories
once held so deep inside.
I hear the echo calling me
just like a long lost friend.
From times of joy and sadness
that's carried in the wind.
Like thunder is the mighty sound
of waves against the beach.
Finding dreams I've yet to dream
washed up within my reach.
No shadows here can find me
the sun is shining bright.
Peace comes to remind me
who it is I am tonight.
With troubles oh so far away
it's just me and the sea.
I'm setting sail I will not fail
it's just the sea and me.
Tomorrow I'll be back again
feet firmly on the shore.
But what Atlantic washed away
won't find me anymore.
Edwin C Hofert
