Swept Away

By: Eve Estelle

Calm your mind, lend your ears

As you walk along these ocean piers;

Listen close, the gentle songs

Shall rid you of those useless fears.

Skies of red, skies of gold;

Hear the sounds of tales untold;

Free your mind, put down your walls,

There's much to learn when the ocean calls..

Now listen,

Listen to the swish of waves,

And the soothing winds;

Listen to the creaks of wood,

And feel the power that never dims.

Back on the shore,

Walk along the sands;

Between your toes,

Flowing through your hands.

Let these sounds of tranquility

Sweep you away,

Reminisce about old times,

Times behind today.

Listen to these ocean waves,

And at last turn your eyes to the sky;

Look upon its golden gaze,

And say yet another goodbye.
