Only Sand

The heart of man is like the sea

As reckless as storms and riptides

Their wild eyes long to be free

The salty breeze their only guide

I find myself among the waves

Alone by the glorious sea

Within our sorrow we’re all slaves

Ashamed of what we’ll never be

We bring our burdens to the coast

Let them wash away in the flood

And we return to empty ghosts

Doubts diminished, covered in mud

But beauty is not found on land

And no one longs to gaze at sand
