Waves that eat, soil and stones Winds that reap, empty homes Save a piece, of a cliff overlooking The deepest sea, like a blade On the precipice, it still stands Rotting and worn to bits, coloured by hands Of families, that once thrived among Plots of irises, so many years have gone Fairest town, but it grew Until vanity was all it knew Made the ocean a foe A sentence of permanent woe Incited the storms A tempest of strife Only brought at ease By a yield of life False aim Tread into the dive Bound by the shame Ignorance be their last goodbye The leap from which families break Less echoes surrounding them For a while They find solace, with the waves Through the red garden gate In the wake of Abandonment, a boy walked the streets Ever reticent, eyes cloudy and white Every day he spend, hearing of terrors that Would impend, never the same With the greyest gone, to rest in the depths Without sight or tongue, no savior to be Called upon, away by the people He was torn, as sacrifice Dragged by the hands, Through the remnants of the lands That had flourished before Conceit had brought them war Brought before the precipice An offer with no voice to miss Into the world lost Out from this world clean Into the world lost Out from this world clean Into the world lost Out from this world clean Into the world lost Out from this world clean She rose from where waters they meet the sky Winds turned to knives and tides ran high Form of haze, hair like waves Herald of their kindreds' graves Placed in his hands, two shells from the shore "With these you shall cover in darkness no more" "Take them as eyes, go where they don't know" "A child like you have nothing to owe" Gifted From what only ever takes But he didn't want to view A world build upon mistakes Pointed a finger to his mouth So he was given a voice Plead for the people to change their ways Innocence had made its choice Selfless resolve Selfless resolve Words so softly spoken For ears that wouldn't hear Soon the waves retreated And the skies went clear And the skies went clear And the skies went clear
