Would You Stay

Gentle breeze across the beach
So many things now out of reach
Ghostly shadows stretch out
Memories I find hard to think about

Is there cause to be righteous 
In these days that are contentious 
 Feel your way ahead
Stand up be counted instead

Lonely days that are hard
Two steps forward and lose a yard
Wasted days leak away
With me now would you stay.
