California

In waters ‘neath starry skies
where the lights never go out
the clouds on the shoreline
mask the moonlight

Carefree and casual
the tides move in and out
with a natural rhythm
dancing with the wind

Daring and trying
soft swaying with the night
o’er misty hills
high up in the clouds

Surrounds the land
both near and far
in faith the faithful lie
waiting for the morning light
to cast its rays
bathe the whole place in sunlight

Dreams of champions and heroes are made
many fall
and spirits clash
in furious color
a visual symphony

Listen to the chorus
don’t repeat the verse
In silence watch the sunrise
feel the universe and all around
the ethereal sensation of wonderment
take over the mind

Life with its ever beating heart
moves quickly when not watched
tread lightly, go quickly
grab the spirit
and write your verse
