The sky meets the sea in the middle, I am told, Yet does not greet it, for it is grey and old. One day, however, I did see with such zeal The two embrace the lonely pier With warm blue smiles That took my breath away. And still I walked across the sands of Time And still the sea crept closer, And when the Tide took hold of me I did not try to hide from it; Two smiles only became brighter. I said 'Farewell' to a somewhat sweeter sea and Scoured the beach for Treasure: I found an Open Book among the beach jewels and the Pleasure.
