Chasing dreams into the sun,
Watching waves roll on the sand,
Hoping songs of cheer are sung,
Reaching out to find a hand.

Waves roll and roll and roll
To crash thundering on the beach;
I try to try and try
To grasp things just out of reach.
Sunrises over white capped ocean
Starts the morning with emotion.

Follow bodies in search of fun
Soft skin lays on rough sand,
Baking slowly beneath the sun
Reaching out to find a hand.

Smiling faces call out to me
Leave shadow for the light
Watching all there is to see
Making dreams to fill the night.

Waves roll and roll and roll
To crash thundering on the beach;
I try to try and try
To grasp things just out of reach.
Sunrises over white capped ocean
Starts the morning with emotion.

Afternoon sun starts to slide
Shadows creep across the sand
Passings are purged by the tide
Reaching out to find a hand.

I especially loved this Gloom as I live by the sea, but also see this applying to relationships in life.

Wish you could find a place to record it, so we could hear you either speak or sing it. Happy Holidays to you. Sharon

Thank you, Mysteria,
Pleased you liked it, but I only sing in a crowd at church
And only softly so that my voice is drown out by others.
It is said to raise a joyful noise, not excellent singing.
I’ll be heading out to sea soon, perhaps I will sing it when the thundering of the waves
Is all that can be heard.

Love your chorus, and the purging of tides in the end.
This is my kind of song and my kind of poetry.
I came away with a sense of peace in the stillness,
and the reality of being left alone with our emotions.

Beautiful work professor~

This is delightful, Prof. You can't read this without getting a warm and toasty feeling.
