Sitting on a boulder by the ocean suddenly I forget I'm so much older
espying a red bucket at the edge of the shore the wind begins to blow
Softly, as the first light of morning enters in, I recall the first glow
of an open sea, and taking in the scent of ocean foam I begin to crave
The newborn sun that caped my frame as I dug deeper then my years
packing the sand between my M'd palms, I was lost in a moment of grace
Mother's rippling laughter and father's golden smile instinctively placed,
that's what a child remembers in a palace made by God's own crave
Wandering through my memories, I land on one that makes me smile
meeting my past I empty the cannister of ashes into the sea then sigh
gently I let you go for I know, "that living things eventually must die "
When I was a child I believed in everything and never question why
The sun shone in the morning and the moon shone only by night
I sat by the ocean and counted the stars until the morning light
Softly, as the first light of morning enters in, I recall the first glow
of our life as one, how much U* loved, how much I loved U* so.
