The Old Beach Road

Once I took the old beach route

For I had missed the bus

Taking the road in that darkly night

Was for me just too much

An old man told of this old beach road

That he alone once tread

But as I gaze at the dark nights stars

The constellations now seem strange.

When I set out this night

I thought I saw the Great Bear

But now strange stars loom so large

That it gives me a scare

The Sea now seems to say something

Or did a seagull scream

And Northern Lights seem so strange

In this Eastern beach

Is this the sands I left behind

Or the famed Sands of Time

Will I reach my home beach

Or the very dawn of time

Has a day now passed

Or perhaps a Century

Is that a sea turtle out there

Or a Creature of some Primordial beach

I wake up in my home beach

Where fisherman cry fish, fish

But did I really walk out there

Or was I half asleep.
