Summer Pull

Out of my tower, I stood there and stared Beyond my framed windowpane, further ahead. On a beautiful day, my palms to the glass I looked out to the ocean, of which nothing could surpass. This view of great clarity and rich in great wealth A vision so calming applauded by my health. It pulled me and pushed me with desire and part fear So thankful to be up here but how I pined to be near. The waves grew so silently, then crashed with immense gust Once low tide and now high tide Oh, to step through it I must... I ran out the door, down the stairwell so steep Through an old vineyard of grapes and onto the beach. My toes touched the white sand, so warm and so soft This is what life is, it's set for one's heart. Closer drew the salted droplets yearning for me We are the moon, the sand and the sea. Without a thought or any hesitancy I dropped into the ocean Oh, how I felt free...
