Across the Open Sea Up and down this sandy beach - I slowly trod - Ever looking Out to sea - to the horizon - afar Waves splash shimmers - Across my toes as I stand Gulls swoop low - Hoping for food from my hands The morning sun's rays - Glitter across the waves - As they move to shore To end their journey - broken asunder upon the sands Up and down this sandy beach - You slowly trod - Ever looking Out to sea - to the horizon - afar Waves splash shimmers - Across your toes as you stand Gulls swoop low - Hoping for food from your hands The morning sun's rays - Glitter across the waves - As they move to shore To end their journey - broken asunder upon the sands I cannot see you - nor you me - But across the open sea - We Are!!
