Shores
While living deep I realise I can
Go deeper still to try and find my man
The man in I that searches and implores
The man that wonders walks along these shores
Amphibian I crawl out from the sea
And brain evolves as something just like me
Then stand up straight and wander on this beach
And pain it strikes when I stretch out to reach
Where is this place and what should I do here
This place that’s full of treachery and fear
There’s awesome beauty also everywhere
Such beauty that a mind can scarce compare
We living things are lonesome and we’re here
Together on these shores we hold so dear
