To walk along a deserted beach at night
Seeing the moon reflected on the water
Feeling the waves break over my feet
Wakes me up and opens my mind's eye
To the possibilities of every person's lives
It makes me remember the first time
I gazed upon the ocean's twinkling depths
Of life forgotten but never lost
Simply pulled into the darkness of the deep
Where it remains until it's found
Battered and beaten but still intact
