Forever More

Listen…can you hear it?
The steady roar of the ocean,
in its never ending motion.

Splashing higher and higher
onto the rocky shore.
Like the haunting cries of
forlorn sailors gone forever
more.

Sailors from around the world,
on massive war ships, mast
schooners, yachts and canoe.
Oh! The peril of life, if they
only knew!

Where’s the lighthouse, the
safe haven cove, or dry land
for which they so desperately
strove?

No hope in sight, no land ahoy,
no rescue ships in the night.
Eternal cries from that silent
ocean so cold, so deep and
out of sight.

The saddened cries of those lost
souls, locked in that ocean
roar to be heard forever
more.
