Tales from the Sea

If you make a friend of time

It wouldn't matter that you have no dime
For waves that break in the mangrove beach
Will pull your ship from that sinking reef

If the lighthouse is afar
And a misty fog blocks the north star
Follow the seagulls to the left
Or north or south whichever is best

A starfish that floats near the beach

May swim away beyond your reach

But in the sand it will tell a tale

That will be understood by a blue whale

An oyster that pricks your feet

Could have a pearl on some distant beach
A boat that is blown to sea
Will reach home in Trinco beach
