Pebbles on the beach in the gathering cold, Washed clean of their sins and slowly growing old.
Gradually letting go of regret. Making peace with the world but they’re not ready yet.
So much beauty and so much joy, Each tidal breath brings a new array of choice.
And the lust for life that infuses everyone Under the Sun.
Now they seem to be the leftovers of life. They’ve done their time as husbands and as wives.
They’ve raised the young ones to live in peace and joy.Never losing touch with their inner girls and boys.
They did their best to improve the world around.Faced their hopes and fears and searched for solid ground.
But life washes over them removing any sign,That they were ever anywhere but inside their minds with
So much beauty and so much joy, Each tidal breath brings a new array of choice.
And the lust for life that infuses everyone Under the Sun.
