Our Grassy Lot

Our grassy lot above the sea,
Were sadness seldom found. 
melodies and ocean songs, 
twirled us round and round.

Never a reprieve from our 
laughter, nor a dull day befell.
A relationship so mighty, 
unafraid of the largest swell. 

The wind shifts, and clouds roll 
in as the night comes nye. 
It promises to be a passing 
storm but how the weather lies. 

The salty air has spelled the 
end, as the paint chips away.
Misery breaks apart the boards 
and the grass is turning gray. 

Rabbit watches now turtle 
clocks, time now bitter still.
Rid me of my timely matters, I 
pray that be gods will. 

Her body broke against the 
rocks, as did my mind that day.
Good night my dearest friend in 
love, I will never get to say. 

Master mariners and sailors 
broken by the tide. 
Reach to her for life and love, 
as I did in summer time.
