The Beach 
 
 
 
Your eyes reflect the depth of your soul- 
only you can know 
Secrets, deep and dark- 
You have made your mark 
 
 
 
Just within reach- 
the beach 
 
 
 
Listen to the waves 
nirvana for the soul 
is what you crave 
you will find 
 
 
 
Freedom, far and near 
is what you hold dear 
just a matter of time 
peace of mind
