A silhouette against the sun
The wind takes over sails
As pirates slumber in the night
In hopes, the wind won’t fail
Lest they be forever adrift
In a sea, oft unforgiving
Battering waves, tossed about
Yet, it’s how they go on living
The life they choose, no matter
What others, of them, may think
They’ll stash abundant treasure
As they watch the others sink
Into the deepest oceans
Lost, in a battle of greed
Thirsty for blood, they conquer
No matter how much you plead
They take it all, there’s nothing left
Your ship, lay barren and wasted
And you cling to life, but lose the fight
Your own blood, you now have tasted

And its creatures gather
To hear the mighty roar
Softly playing within
Only a whisper, crashing
Among the white capped waves

Feel the ocean’s rousing rush
Get lost in fields of lavender
Hear the forest’s gentle hush
Breathe in air of scented pine
Climb the rocks and reach the sky
Wrap yourself in magnificence
Listen, as your senses sigh

Waves, against the sand, the tide rolls in
As I walk along the beach, this summer day
The pier, in the distance, waits in hazy morn
The softening day, through the clouds, allay
Tones of pink, against gray, night dissipates
Coloring the skies, with my favorite hues
Reeds blow gently, in the hush of the breeze
Shadows creep quietly, then, slip from view
The taste of the sea, the salt in the air
Memories, of my childhood, spent there
To go back, and relive, those days in the sun
Lazily walking, until the daylight is done
