I looked out to the sea today.

From the safety of the bay.

I walked along the gritty sand.

I was in need of a helping hand.

I looked at the waves, rising high.

Rinsing the rocks they passed by.

Close to the water’s edge I crept.

All the secrets the sea has kept.

I’m so tired of life, I need to sleep.

One more secret, please to keep.

The angry sea, spitting left and right.

It closed in on me that lonely night.

I left safety behind, it wasn’t for me.

With my arms open, I greeted the sea.
