The Water's Edge

A blazing sun reflects a hue
across the horizon and into the blue

As valiant waves that dance with mirth
descend upon unbridled surf

Sequestered dunes of earthen clay
give refuge to the birds of prey

As melodic winds chant natures prayer
and rise throughout the balmy air

The rampant waters ebb and flow
above the primal Eden that lies below

The mystic piper calls to free
The broken spirits lost at sea

Who renounced their fears in the darkest hour
adrift are their fables of courage and valor

As the moon subsides into the ocean's glory
a brilliant sunrise tells another story
