Misunderstood whispers of serenity
Burnt along each grain of sand
Roasting under the heat
Of the wicked, midday sun.
Like the shore orphaned
By the thoughtless wave's kisses
Scorching my pained soul, twisted,
Expelled, and left to die a million times
I lay myself down helplessly, list'nin'
To the humming wings of a dove,
While the shore vanishes, scraped
From the endless voyage that was.
