The Sea-Shore

You were always too beautiful 
To stand still
You seek out waves of the free

I wonder how it feels
To swim among present life
Whilst their contented bodies rest limbless upon me

You see their lives unfurl
As they grip your strength
Soak up all that breathes in your light

Your are they're worthful cause
They're freedom, a genuine gain
They're everlasting fight


They all concregate around you
Your stormy seas
Instill in them a spirit its true

I look on sadly
Realising they will never choose me
It will always be you

Your tsamami washes over me
As your anger takes hold
You choose not a competition but a hand

As you awash upon me 
Your debreit whose party is over
I fall upon them on peaceful sand

I hurl my arms around them
See your watchful eyes 
Begin to bring yourself to shore

You leave me peace and space
Then leave me as expectant occupants
Take you back once more....
