Beach Music, Pat Conroy’s voice in flavors Of raspberry ice and chocolate paradise Mists blowing across the waters, soundless Yet aching so that every heart felt blessed By his melancholic treasure, the history of a sea Who restored peace and awakened the night Blowing winds who waved to the shores Silencing the darkness and flooding the heart With a flowing light, a flutter of grace, healing Hesitant as the passions, poured from pages Written on the beach… Where light remembers, a happy That cannot be spoken, never broken Glowing on the edges of summer And revealing to the heart What it is to love with a love beyond reason Love that is the reason – the way Forever and a day… Beach Music replayed on the silent edges Of waters who I’ve waded in, Wading through tears, fears – so many years Necessity caressing the heart of a memory Words echoing through a soul who is gentle And knows the love that is more than sentimental It is God’s voice, touching on the senses God’s love… erasing all the fearful, replacing It with contentment, love that is so intimate Love that can’t be written... Echoes on the silent shore of contentment
