Not Today

The waves are crashing

While spray is splashing

High into the starry night

Yet I think it feels so right

I hear you calling out to me

Come on let me set you free

My burning pain now hotter

Inviting cool churning water

Moving toward the very edge

Oh will you keep your pledge

Can this really be my peace?

To just let all things cease?

The sea is gently calling

As I think now of falling

So I turn and walk away

Smiling maybe not today…
