Sleepy eyes
Find solace
In the world
Ruled by the stars
And father Neptune
Holds back storms
As Morpheus
Brings a much needed dream
Crashing Waves
On a stone tower
Fade into
An oft dreamed
Moonlit meadow
But this time
Sleepy eyes
Do not dream alone

There were no seashells to be found
Six days I had looked
Neptune must have been on another shore
I prepare to leave my ocean
I prepare to say goodbye
To the boy with the shadowed eyes
He plans to bring me back soon
But I missed a chance
To dream seashore dreams
To look at the stars
Reflected in my indigo ocean
I failed to capture a picture
Of our shadows in the sand
A feeling of dread comes over me
As sand is traded for pavement
In my heart I knew
I would not be back again

::Neptune’s Daughter::
There is no moon tonight
She sits atop the dune and stares at the black ocean
Voices from the deep have called her while she sleeps
And now she sits at the edge of the sea waiting
The waves are patiently beckoning for her to join their dance
White caps rush to the shore
Caressing her fingertips
There is no moon tonight
As she stands upon the sand
Inching ever closer
To hold King Neptune’s hand
And in an elegantly mystic moment
The sea calls her home
And on this moonlit night
The sand dune stands alone

:: Seashore Daydreams::
White caps break long before they reach the shore
Sent from the churning ocean
Kissing an endless horizon
That I can only dream of following
The Sun sets in hues of cornflower blue
Calm and serene
Above Neptune’s restless realm
The horizon I long to go to
To sail to
I want to it follow forever
Seashore daydreams
Just a fleeting passing shimmer
When I wake up in the morning
The white caps
Crashing and pounding
Will fade away to become
Just a picture in my camera
