Oceans
V.1
If she’s an island
there’s a reef around
Upon which many ships have run aground
Ruined hulls that
once were sound
On her beaches
they abound
V.2
‘Mongst their
survivors you can number me
As one who won't give up so easily
On the floodplain
I sift through debris
Thrown up by the
sea
C.
I still remember
my ship crashing through
The waves that hid the depths of oceans blue
I still remember
what I meant to do
I still remember
you …
V.3
If only you could
find this place
You could laugh at
me, right in my face
But that’s a
pleasure won’t reward the chase
Conducted at a
youthful pace
C.
I still remember
my ship crashing through
The waves that hid the depths of oceans blue
I still remember
what I meant to do
I still remember
you …
V.4
Life pulls us all
to different destinies
Love and action,
torpor and disease
Till such time and
with such ease
She cuts that thread
of memories
