Ocean Of The Mind
The waves of your life have just came to shore,
See the things you have done that you can't ignore.
You can't run because the tide has came in,
Just sit and look to where you have been.
As the moon shines on the water like clear glass,
You start clearing your mind of things from your past.
Each shell you see has a story to tell,
How you started over and then again you fell.
Each pebble that lays in front of you is what you want to do,
But you are still thinking of which one to choose.
Your thoughts are thick as the clumps of sand,
Sadly, they are still lost like a dry piece of land.
Walk to the water and clear your mind,
A clear and free life is what you will find.
