The sun had risen, it was fairly bright,
And across the sky soared a great skylark
But something just did not feel alright
Deep inside my heart, I just felt quite dark.
.
.
I watched the sea, wave after raging wave,
And somehow it made me feel eerily calm;
So full of life, yet many a poor sailor’s grave,
I wonder what secrets you hide in your palm.
.
.
As the waters came up and kissed my feet,
I just walked along, and sat on the shore;
It was cold, but all I could feel was the heat,
Something was burning, at my very core.
.
.
I just sat there by myself, totally alone,
Not a soul in sight, not a single sound;
As the waves made me wet to the bone,
I just lay and listened to my heart pound.
Soon, dark clouds hid the sun, and it all went bleak
Lightning, thunder and a mighty rainstorm
I felt the raindrops slowly roll down my cheek
Strange, some of them were salty and warm.
.
.
.
.
.
Or maybe it was God taking a leak?

PS2: Pic taken during the trip by a friend. Don't think he would have copyright issues. In any case, if you are reading this, consider yourself acknowledged.
PS3: Just to assuage fears that I may have turned into this mushy, weepy, senti being, here's a bonus PJ for you people...
