Churn and Chide

I. Beneath the coldest spray of greenish hue Solitude lies entombed in rolling waves And Death a word we try hard to construe While staring into depths of azure graves Solitude lies entombed in rolling waves Speaking a shyly rhythmic soliloquy While staring into depths of azure graves As sirens softly sing, slightly off key Speaking a shyly rhythmic soliloquy Waves cascading on a dark distant shore As sirens softly sing, slightly off key Trailing symphonies of Poseidon’s lure Waves cascading on a dark distant shore The cadence rising with the evening tide Trailing symphonies of Poseidon’s lure Churning now as Death’s laughter bursts inside The cadence rising with the evening tide While whorls of seaweed fan like silken hair Churning now as Death’s laughter bursts inside And turbulent eyes fill with naught but fear While whorls of seaweed fan like silken hair Whipping froth into an ominous smile And turbulent eyes fill with naught but fear Yet the sea remains serene all the while Whipping froth into an ominous smile And death a word we try hard to construe Yet the sea remains serene all the while Beneath the coldest spray of greenish hue II. Regretful tears will crash upon life’s shore As our thoughts shimmer like a coral reef Sea’s immenseness shaking us to the core Unfathomable, much like our own grief As our thoughts shimmer like a coral reef Searching shortening days for so much more Unfathomable, much like our own grief Reminding us of what life holds in store Searching shortening days for so much more Sea’s beauty flirting with our roving eye Reminding us of what life holds in store Beneath our very last, delicious sigh Sea’s beauty flirting with our roving eye As Dolphins jump towards horizon’s crest Beneath our very last, delicious sigh With Starfish chiding our now silent chest As Dolphins jump towards horizon’s crest Sharks swim swiftly past like a phantom thief With Starfish chiding our now silent chest The joys of life we find are all too brief Sharks swim swiftly past like a phantom thief As ghosts of sailors drift upon the waves The joys of life we find are all too brief Too soon we'll lie in still watery graves As ghosts of sailors drift upon the waves Sea’s immenseness shaking us to the core Too soon we'll lie in still watery graves Regretful tears will crash upon life’s shore
