On Your Shore

Strange how

my heart beats

To find myself upon your shore

Strange how

I still feel

My loss of comfort gone before

Cool waves wash over

and drift away with dreams of youth

so time is stolen

I cannot hold you long enough

And so

this is where I should be now

Days and nights falling by

Days and nights falling by me

I know

of a dream I should be holding

days and nights falling by

Days and nights falling by me

Soft blue horizons

reach far into my childhood days

as you are rising

to bring me my forgotten ways

Strange how I falter

to find I'm standing in deep water

Strange how

my heart beats
