The Sea Took Her


  
The Sea Took Her


She listened to the voice of the sea
It told her tales of love and mystery
She watched the waves crash, break
And she thought of her heart’s mistake
For the sake of love, she’d lost it all
Oh, she sighed, I’ll always hear such a call

Waves crashed, wind howled, she cried
Surf rose, rain fell, and her hope died

She whispered her secret to the sea
And told of her tale, of love’s tragedy
She called to the wind to carry her heart
And give it to her lover now ever a part
for in the ocean he lies, to forever sleep
Locked in the arms of ocean so deep

Thunder rolled, lightening flashed, she cried
Storm raged, tears fell, and her heart died

She cast her love into the stormy sea
Begged it to reverse her fated destiny
She heard his voice calling her there
In that moment his fate she’d share
The sea reaches for her, called her name
She sleeps with her lover just the same

Tears weep, skies cry, wind howls, she dies
Rain falls, waves break, seas call, souls sighs

Circe love, I wrote this after reading a newspaper story about a girl who was drowned, it was a sad little tale and it inspired this. And I know the sea isn't always cruel I have a deep fondness for it, having been born by the sea. Almost literally the house no longer exists it fell in the sea. It's alright we weren't still living in it when it happened.
Thanks love, for always supporting me
Take care

Sandra love, yes sweetie I'm fine, better than fine I have a weeks holiday, so I finally have some time to catch up on my reading. Thanks for caring love I do appreciate it, and I hope you are getting there too. Remember the phoenix rescue squad are always willing to fly in and support a fellow sister phoenix. If you need us just shout, or even whisper we'll hear anyway.
Look after yourself
Take care love

Pepper love, thank you, yet more of my stretching, at this rate I'll be so stretched, I'll be as flat as a pancake.  
Thank you always
Take care love

Thank you muchly kid
Take care love

Paula love, thank you dear heart, you are always one of my faithful supporters. And for that I thank you truly, even if you are just a little biased when you say you love it.
Take care love
