Upon a long and rocky shore
I looked out screamed ‘at last no more’
A frail and broken cry that grew
Into the sea which never knew
The pain that welled within my heart
Cold and strange, through unknown part
The sea so blue, so fresh and true
Couldn’t listen to the words I threw
Gentle roaring, surf sublime
My voice catching, salted brine
Ne’er to reach another ear
Though I’m shouting very near
Sea so blue, so brown, so green,
Windows but no truth to glean
Washing forward like a tide
But my truth it won’t abide
Though I long to join the sea
My belonging there shall never be.
