There are places on this Earth
Which remind me
How grand it is
How beautiful
How divine
Which remind me
How grand it is
How beautiful
How divine
They lap lightly
On the shores of consciousness
To the rock, it seems just yesterday
It had been the sand
Gently rolling with the waves
As if you are there, at the dawn of life
Watching nature stir her organics
Casting upon them the spells
Which will make matter sentient
Sometimes it is difficult to know
A sunrise from a sunset
The coming of the light
From the gathering darkness
There is beauty in both
And what will come
Will come
So best to appreciate the moment
But… Oh! If I could choose
Choose anywhere in the world
It would be here, I’d live
In that dark house by the sea
It’s a city fair
A city rare
Which once was quite contrite
