Sand slaps against my feet With the echoes of the Footprints that I left before
The hollow ring of the Departing tide Reverberates through my toes
The constant steely water Always comes But never really goes
Is there anything more beautiful than a tugboat?
Earth and sea Swallow me And I am home This place makes me a mermaid Magic in the sea salt Returns me to my childhood Who can resist the trumpet call Of a castle in the sand?
I hear laughter on these shores In the waves Hidden in cool, splashing bubbles When I disturb the mighty rock fortresses Of the scrabbling water bugs
I fell in love on this beach A veil of sea **** awaits me And I will carry a bouquet of Sky and Salt
