I
visited the seashore,
For
several hours today,
I
hoped to clear my heart and mind,
And
wile the hours away.
I
strolled along the shoreline,
Then
I walked out on the dock,
I
sat entranced, for far too long,
On
top of "Lover’s Rock".
I
watched the sea gulls on the sand,
Some
pelicans flew by,
The
dolphins did their graceful thing,
And
I began to cry,
How
many times, we’ve done these things,
As
I have done today,
I
came here for some answers,
Hoping
I could find my way.

I
watched the waves caress the shore,
The
rising of the tide,
Each
thing I did, we both have done,
I
cried some more inside.

The
beauty of an ocean shell,
Was
tempting to my hand,
With
neither heart nor spirit,
It
remained there on the sand.
A
crumbling castle, made of sand,
Is
soon to be reclaimed,
The
castle like a crumbling love,
No
one is to be blamed,

To
come here, sit here, do these things,
Is
punishment for me?
With
you or without you,
There’s
no place I’d rather be.
To
come here, sit here, do these things,
For
me is certain sorrow,
But
just as I am here today,
I
will be here tomorrow.
