The Ocean Call
Salty waves are kissing sandy feet
I'm thrown into the sea
Where I'm expected to swim
Where no lifeguard can save me
I cannot run, I cannot hide
Nowhere to flee
A prisoner of the unruly tide
She pulls me under, she tells me I'm free...
Salty waves are kissing sandy feet
I'm further from the shore
She tells me it's okay to sink
She knows I can't swim much more
Her current is shifting, I am drifting
I miss the safety of land
She tells me it's time to swim
I cannot live alone on the sand
Salty waves are kissing sandy feet
Deeper and deeper I fall
Her guiding hand is mine to hold
"Trust me, follow my call"
I'm thrown into the sea
Where I'm expected to swim
Where no lifeguard can save me
I cannot run, I cannot hide
Nowhere to flee
A prisoner of the unruly tide
She pulls me under, she tells me I'm free...
Salty waves are kissing sandy feet

She tells me it's okay to sink
She knows I can't swim much more
Her current is shifting, I am drifting

I cannot live alone on the sand
Salty waves are kissing sandy feet
Deeper and deeper I fall
Her guiding hand is mine to hold
"Trust me, follow my call"

I recently wrote about the ocean too, but I really love yours, and how yours just flows! It's so smooth, and gives a feeling of relaxation and beauty!

Fairy.. nicely done.. sometimes getting caught in the undertow, brings us face to face with our fears.. but the current sometimes helps us shed vices.. really dig this.. much respect..

In this case it's the inevitable fears we cannot escape... Trust is all, there is no running. Thank you for your comments as always Dave
