By the Sea

I lay down by the sea Beneath the sunless sky And the waves set me free. Beside me rose the scree On cliffs towering high I lay down by the sea. Wild was the wind stormy With lone wings did I fly And the waves set me free. I stood tall like a tree With no friend nor ally I lay down by the sea. The abyss yawned for me But I sailed and passed by And the waves set me free. Far yonder I could see Dark clouds rising, but I, I lay down by the sea And the waves set me free. _______________________ _______________________
