Such a beautiful sight… to astonish my eyes
So calm… so serene… so shrewd… so wise
The sand you soak compliments you so flawless
Free of anxiety… I am free of stress
I let your waters caress my skin
You provide me with peace and harmony within
I wish I could stay here… stay here forever
The connection we embody no man could sever
There must be more… more to see
More to feel… past the knee
So I walk… and walk… searching your waters
Not grasping that I was walking into slaughter
Your fury unleashed… and your waves crashed down
They looked… looked… I’m nowhere to be found
You took my life… away I float
Appealing from afar… but you killed me when I came too close
