dianne anderson - The Calming Sea

The beach is deserted when l arrive l've come with a troubled mind
Not knowing why the sea has drawn me, with answers l hope to find
The only noise l hear, are the waves crashing against the rocks and the gulls overhead
l sit silently staring at the sun and the sky with it's patches of red

A stranger appears passing by, a quick glance perhaps to wonder why
This woman is there at all, alone, except for the odd bird with it's cry
l want the sea to tell me why, why me, but, there's no reply to my pain
l feel a chill yet l feel more serene more able to face the rain
That comes to us all sometime in our lives, l stand up feeling calmer now
l head for home l'll cope with what l have to face, l'll know how
