The Eternal Shore

Waves break as I awake on the misty shore of my mind
Memories old and secrets told are what the ocean leaves behind
As the sunset sky drifts slowly by, I rise to stare at the sea
And wonder if this place I'm in is the home of eternity

I stroll the beach in quiet escape and take my steps alone
I hear the waves and feel the spray that gently soothes my soul
While here I peer out to the sea and feel so strangely at home
And from the ocean comes a notion I'm a droplet to the whole

Walking along, I come to recall a day in deep contemplation
The day I was born, washed up on shore in a sudden realization
To walk this land apart from the sea in some spiritual segregation
That I am the sea and the sea is me, and I am its creation

I begin to think and slowly I sink into sands of confusion and pain
How could it be that the great sea and me are actually two of the same?
Fear takes hold and I slowly grow cold while sinking more and more
But a calm pervades as I hear the waves crashing upon the shore

If I am the sea like a branch from a tree and I trust the roots are strong
Then I can stroll the beach without stressing if I am in the right or wrong
With that theory in mind I take a step blind and faithfully call fear's bluff
And at that moment I felt in my soul the sea's everlasting love

The shore of my mind is eternally divine and mysterious even to me
A place between worlds where wisdom unfurls in waves upon a beach
There comes a wind that slowly begins to carry me like a feather
I let go to its plea for one day the sea will welcome me back forever
