Seaside

Leave your worries by the shoreline,
And run your bare feet through the sand,
Let the water be a soft bed,
When you cannot hear to stand,
Make friends with flying seagulls,
And hold the sun up on your palm,
Before you duck beneath the water,
Where the world is mute and calm, 
Tell the fish all of your problems,
As they all come swimming past,
When your lungs are close to bursting, 
Swim above the waves and gasp,
Let the water hold your sadness, 
And wash it right out to the sea,
So like a message in a bottle, 
All your worries are free,
And the sea might make you feel alone,
But the world has troubles too,
For how else do you suppose,
That the ocean got so blue?





  Stars

You think you can define me, 
That I'm a tick in just one box,
Like my being is a door,
That a single key unlocks, 
But let me tell you something, 
I have the universe inside, 
I hold an untamed ocean,
With a constant changing tide,
I'm home to endless mountains,
With tips that touch the sky, 
Flocks of grand migrating birds, 
And deserts harsh and dry,
I house the wildest rivers,
And a host of sweeping plains,
I feel in waves of sunshine, 
Or in unrelenting rains, 
Don't tell me that you know me, 
That "this right here is what you are",
I am the universe in motion,
For I was born from stars.
