battling waves
rising tides
stormy nights
lonely nights
all in his mind
lost in the harsh seas
he set his heart out
to see shore
holding on to faith
all he had
all he has
as day breaks
his heart aches
from the joy
his weary heart
may rest
no more hurt
he gazes upon the fine shore
Her sand crystals,
heavenly under the sun
her fine ebony crystals
caress the soles of his bare feet
his soul now at peace
his boots worn
from his years of sojourn
He sheds a tear
as he sits and
lays himself
on the bed of sand
looking out to sea
seeing his boat bobble
ever so slightly in the gentle wave
he gave his heart to the ocean
and the ocean loved him back
no more, battling waves
no more, rising tides
no more, stormy nights
no more, lonely nights
