I walk out the door and head towards the shore
The sound that greets me is otherworldly
The sound of the crashing waves coming towards me
The smell of the ocean in the air
At the dawn of winter
the waves go higher and higher
I could go walking down the pier
And find myself out in the sea
What would I find out in the sea what would I see?
What I see the open ocean?
Blue waves and whitecaps all around me
Or what I see the pollution that humans have left behind?
What does he fish swimming in the ocean or they're dead floating on top
With the ocean be clear or would it be murky?
Could I find myself in the reflection of the blue sea green water or would it be distorted?
Would there be boats around me? Going about to find the open waters or would I be alone?
Standing on the pier that connects me to the shore could I welcome you home?
Can I welcome you home from the waves of the sea in guide you back towards the shore?
Can you leave your boats and the ocean floor
Or will you stay on the waves listening to the horn of the ships that are far from you and the seagulls from up above
Do you belong on the sea or the shore?
