To the west,
On the coast,
Is a little known beach,
Where I like to go,
Where the sand is white,
And the water sometimes blue,
And there is nothing anyone needs to do.
***
It calls to me,
Summons me,
In the wind and the sea,
Beckoning me back,
To stand on the beach,
And look out at the deep.
***
There is nothing,
I want to do more,
Than stand quietly,
On that white shore,
Just me and the sea,
Conversing quietly,
Conversations no-one need to know.
