The Beach

I wrote this many years ago, when I first got back to California. I believe I was at Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, walking along the sand, and into the water. It was glorious. Gregg and I did that every day when we lived out there. (It is also a very old recording, a Capella, but I do love this song). Enjoy. The Beach I sink my feet in the sands of the Beach and open wide my arms to the waves within reach. Then I run toward the water as he begs for my hand; and we sink ourselves down to the Promised Land. The waves turn slowly, they beckon to me. They lull me to slumber, this mystical sea. Its powers of persuasion seduce my mind; The world opens up, the path to unwind. I see in the water a glistening sigh. I head to the center, never even asking why. Her circle engulfs me, her vastness surrounds, Though knowledge eludes me her beauty abounds. She pulls at my heartstrings, he’s waving goodbye, As I cleanse in the ocean I hear a sad sigh. I bathe in the power, the waves lift me up, I drink in the glory of the world’s loving cup. I see now the promise was meant for us all, I know in my Spirit we will never fall. For tho we slip a little we won’t end in the breach, She’ll raise up and carry us, this glorious beach.
