As a child
I went to the beach,
and I learned
what only sand
could teach;
And what tides
do tell,
about the wind
and the salty smell;
And the rush
of the deep blue sea,
and how it lives in
every part
of me;
As a child
I climbed the
mountain's peak,
and whispered
as the mountains
speak;
And what winds
do moan,
caressing every rock
and stone;
And the rush
of the deep blue sky,
and how it swirls
within us;
you and I
