I look across the sea at all the waves that are rolling, <br />Towards the coastline on which I now stand, <br />The ocean keeps changing and rising and falling, <br />The colour of sky as it touches the sand. <br />Their white crests are strong and foaming, <br />Crashing like thunder now, <br />They fall before me surging fast <br />Upon these endless shores. <br /> <br />I look across the sea at all the waves that are rolling, <br />So far in the distance their beauty remains, <br />Carried on winds which are blowing so strongly, <br />Towards the headland their power now gains. <br />The spray from the water flying, <br />Rainbows in sunlight shine, <br />The gusts of wind are blowing forth <br />Around these endless shores. <br /> <br />I look across the sea at all the waves that are rolling, <br />I stand alone and I'm dreaming of you, <br />So far away on the distant horizon, <br />Beyond the ocean that's so clear and blue. <br />That now lies between us so far, <br />I cannot reach your hand, <br />I wish the tide would bring you back <br />Towards these endless shores.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/endless-shores/
