Golden glinting on the tide,

Fading patterns side-by-side.

Salt-laced air, gulls taking flight,

The ocean hums a lullaby.

Lay me down in ocean sand,

Let the water wash the land.

Every single care decays,

In the cadence of the bay.

Shadows lengthen, daylight slow,

Murmuring in the undertow.

Seashell echoes in my hand,

A peaceful script is in the sand.

Lay me down in ocean sand,

Let the water wash the land.

Every single care decays,

In the cadence of the bay.

No time, no chains, no heavy load,

Just the sea and the open road.

Inhaling deep, the world feels wide,

The ocean’s calm becomes my guide.

Lay me down in ocean sand,

A gentle grip now, take my hand.

Every rhythm finds its place,

In the ocean’s silent grace.
