Standing on the beach alone
Listening to the ocean call my name
Looking back to see if someone
Other than myself is standing also
Waves of fingers reach out to me
Motioning for me to walk forward
Come into the sea I will keep
You safe and I will be your friend
One foot stepping in front of the
Other leaving washed prints to fade away
Heart beating faster as I
Move closer to the unseen voices
Rippling waters grab at the edges of my dress
Pulling me along ever so gently
Come with me dear friend I can
Bring you so much more
Comfort and love than you have
Desired so strongly from within
Water touches my waist as
I am guided toward hope and dreams
Knowing no one will ever miss me
The sea smiles and I realize
Water is closely wrapping its entire body
So close just a few steps further
Two arms gently pick me up
Placing my body in strong arms
I look into the face
Of someone who cares
Someone has noticed
That I didn’t really want to die
He walks me ever so gently
Back to the beach and lies
Me gently on the sand
Caressing my cheek
Laying his lips atop of my lips
No pretty lady you will not do this
Today I have heard your heart
I have come to rescue you my lady
I am your every wish and deepest dreams
Today is the first day you will feel loved.
