The velvet sun fades far from me Casting a warm wind on my mind The rhythmic lapping at my feet Hypnotizes and leaves me lost in time Death touches gently on my hand And whispers faint the song of the sea Remembering a life, now spent walking endless sands Reminds me of who I'm supposed to be Mother, with ever-reaching arms, pulls at me Father, always scornful, unforgiving, delivers me Tossed among the waves, helpless, sinking down Serenity flows through my veins, forever ocean bound
