Let the sound of the seas swell wash away the pain

Let the whoosh and crush of pebbles float away the strain

Morning light shimmering across flat sparkling sea

Morning swimmers lightly shivering as they rush to shore

Boys and girls peddle, skate and scoot by

Direction not known but heading for fun

Happy voices bouncing all around

Only early but excitement abounds

New vistas unleash the tired mind

Time to let go, time for some kind

The day unfolds, sunrise heat expands

Shivering light now on shivering sand

I'm not the same person, I'm not the same man

No going back to what was before

Just build on what's gone

Build on what's learned

Two favourite voices unite to be heard

 A seagull's lofty happy cry, a wood pigeon's come on call

Brings an instant smile that brightens and lightens my mind
