A meeting place, this unbroken line
Where sky and sea embrace
With whispered voices intertwined,
Echoing through time and space
A tree climbs forth to taste sunshine
And toils unseen beneath the ground
Then rain descends, like a lifeline
Here too are horizons found
Should sight roam far from this shoreline
Its limits we'd see clear
And in reflections might we find
The horizon that sits right here?
Yet to screens and cities the limbs resign
And focus spreads so thin it scatters
In this mad rush who has the time
To learn how feeling small matters?
