The fog lies off the shore
About a mile or two
I count the pebbles here
It’s all that I can do
I walk along the beach
The water calls to me
Somewhere beyond my reach
Upon the beckoning sea
I long to journey on
To where the seagulls fly
Far out beyond the fog
Where water meets the sky
Fresh waves lap at my feet
The doubt in me persists
My life is incomplete
My breath adds to the mist
I turn to face once more
The warm seductive sea
I linger on the shore
My heart, my heart flies free
