The Baywatcher

Her hair trembles In the breeze, carried away My friend, she sits there every day Through the window, ocean bay Black hair in a ponytail In her small hands a turquoise sail So blue is the sky It is joyful energy Just as waves move In kinesis. Sand bitten, seas steal A luscious sandwich meal! Thoughts chewed along the edges Just as she bites her lips While sitting by the window sill Does she see her father, still Swimming in the sea? Like he told her once before In water, man is truly free She's not a swimmer, my friend So don't close the window She likes to sit by there And watch the ocean style The beach; in sine Till her damaged thoughts align And she can turn around, and smile And be my friend once more For tonight's a stormy night She'll close her eyes When others fall asleep That's when she cries And I'll lead her, hand in hand To the window sill Sit by her and watch the seas Until the tears don't spill Desperate to lose herself She'll watch the waves Let the water wash the pain I know I'll never stave
