Rocky Cliffs
Early December, 2000

As whitecap waves crash down on sand and shore,
Bright moonlight sparkles through the tranquil sea;
I sit on rocky cliffs and search for more.

The wonder of the cluttered ocean floor
Perplexes thoughts of worlds away from me –
The whitecap waves fall down on sand and shore.

The salt and sand take stings into my core –
Dark nightmares quake and roll like this decree:
I’ll sit and fear these rocky cliffs some more.

But light amazes broken grace in doors,
And you’ll be strengthened by those crossing beams,
But still, your waves crash down on sand and shore.

The ocean world that breathes abundant lore
Will swallow hope and shatter all that glee
Those rocky cliffs will sit and search for more.

A sunken ship will rise into the war –
Three sailors on this ship, completely free,
As whitecap waves crash down on sand and shore;
Sitting on rocky cliffs, I’ll search no more.
