And It Is You I See

- originally written December 30, 2008 -

The sand beneath my feet, so loose and unsure
As the sun breaks so smooth across my skin
All the while, the light rain washes my soul pure
But this harsh wind could tear me apart from within

The depth of this ocean is something I can't ignore
I breathe in deep as the cries from the birds above start
And the waves that are crashing against the shore
Are crashing with such force against the walls of my heart

Sand, sun, rain, water, wind, waves and birds
All these colors, but none of them belong together
There are so many, but to ask a question you need words
What can I do to satiate this stormy weather?

So I close my eyes and it is you I see hidden behind them
From my heart you have spread through my vision
You can be my saving grace or you can condemn
So why do I feel like I have to make the decision?
