Light of the Future

Oceans make waves Oceans are blue and beautiful Beautiful they called her Beautiful waves crashing against the sand Sand is brittle Sand taste bad in her mouth Mouth full of words Mouth small as seashells Seashells washed away Seashells in the ground Ground beneath her feet Ground she lives on On a hill along the shore On a nice little home in California California stayed sunny California stayed in her dreams Dreams of happiness Dreams of freedom Freedom of America Freedom of the coast Coast of the Pacific Coast of her mind Mind twisted like a twister Mind twisted like a twizzler Twizzlers in cherries Twizzlers in strawberries Strawberries mostly grown in California Strawberries taste so fresh and sweet Sweet until she hit the beach Sweet until she moved by salt water Water is cold Water takes up our world World of people Word of flaws Flaws washed away in the ocean Flaws reflecting in her mirror Mirror of her past Mirror of who she used to be Be yourself Be courageous Courageous enough to surf oceans Courageous enough to move waters Waters of California Waters not so cold anymore Anymore a word of the past Anymore a word that comes so fast Fast as wind Fast as light Light of the world’s oceans Light of the future
