Nothing new on the beach
some waves hitting the shore
some gulls, making the same racket
the same sun which never seems to move
and here I am
walking up and down the beach
looking for God knows what
If I were the first to visit here
my time spend would be of some logic
but most have been here
sharing their thoughts with us
until there are no new emotions to tell about
But yet, here I am
hoping that someday my behavior will be explain
to wall up to the water, touch it, and not feel lonely
to smell it and not hunger for it
to look at it and not wonder
to wonder
to wonder about what
Only a fool would keep searching the horizon
when told what was already there
there are no new goals here
and then maybe I can turn my back
defiantly walking away
never to return, never to sense it again
never to stare into its depths again
It must be me, it must only be me
but I love the waves, I love the gulls, I touch the water
and while I’m away
I will dream my own adventures
