Sail Away
The waves and the beach;
The cool breeze
Blows in across the water,
Awakening the air.
The empty music of the surf
Beating into the sand -
Wild whispers
From wind to man -
Spray
Like salty teardrops,
Tasting bitter
In a mouth filled by memories -
Other beaches,
Other footprints in the sand -
A dream, twisting its way
Into water, sand, and sky;
Night falls,
The waves hush to a lullaby -
And we sail away.
