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

Twilight falls with grace
Gleaming, amongst the shadows
Brightening the night

Lost, and long forgotten times
Left me in a place uncertain
Naïve, was I, within my mind
Noticing not, would be my burden
False accusations, unfiltered words
Lead to a heart filled with anger
A barrage of absurdities, came at me, in herds
Much like the bells, tolling, such clangor
I never was that good at reading wrongs
It is something I am faced with everyday
Still, lessons learned, have made me strong
A way I shall live with, come what may

I walked upon a crooked path,
Along a winding road
Across the way I spied,
A very odd looking toad
He stared at me as I went by,
I’m sure I heard him grumble,
“These humans have no grace at all”,
As I begin to stumble
Surely, he had no way of knowing,
I would trip and fall
Loudly, he laughed, as he looked at me,
Imagine the nerve! What gall!
I righted myself, and bid him good day,
Again, I heard him croak
“These people”, he said rather gruffly,
“Are really quite the joke.”
How rude, I thought, as I walked on,
Just who does he think he is?
Croaking again, he snidely replied,
“It’s really none of your biz!”

Those days, well spent, watching the moon
I longed to be up there, to listen, commune
Along with the stars, shining so sweetly
She’s captured my heart, ever so completely
A child of the moonlight, carefree, gliding
While I’m down on Earth, watching, hiding
I don’t want her know, how I envy her place
Happily swinging, oh, the joy on her face!
I’ll wait in the shadows, as she flies in the night
In my eyes, she is starlight, glistening bright
