One Day

I walked upon the beach one day
To kick the sand and watch the spray
To feel the wind upon my face
Just to be another place

I listened to the gulls cry by
Heard the waters wave of sigh
Watched the clouds turn red and gold
Felt to be a million years old

It gathered me into its lace
Held me in its soft embrace
Wooed me with its lullaby
Until a tear formed in my eye

And then the wet fell down my cheek
An agony of tears of leek
And washed me in a rain of cure
A momentary sense of pure

I raised my arms unto the blue
And whispered to the wind, thank you

Your senses, and sensitivities...do bring tears...of gratitude.

Through the water ... through the rain ... to the soul of everything
Wash my heart out on the stones ... and I'm almost gone.

Heard the waters wave of sigh
Watched the clouds turn red and gold
Felt to be a million years old
ah been there with that feeling..

Seymour, this was one of my favorites.  It is very melodic and I really, really like the conclusion, as well as:

"It gathered me into its lace
Held me in its soft embrace
Wooed me with its lullaby
Until a tear formed in my eye"
