The Shore
The sun dips down behind the clouds
And disappears from sight.
The gradual darkness slowly spreads
And then begins the night.
With tired eyes and achy souls
We try to lay and rest
Our bodies slip into a snooze,
But, awake, our minds protest.
'There must be more! There must be more!'
Mumbles the madman in his sleep.
Like the moon above, his light stays on
His heart won't cease to weep.
This longing and this hunger's common--
Man truly wishes to roar
To daringly sail the wild sea
To adventure and explore!
Yet in this ocean they lose themselves
Lost more than before.
But somehow they make it back,
Back to the dark shore.
With the rising sun, their eyes open
And suddenly they see
The peace that life can offer them
If they are but carefree
They finally find their place in life.
Waves were meant to roar.
And man can find true happiness
By watching from the shore.
