The open sea calls out my name
Quietly
Yet always the same
Colder, deeper
And yet I remain

As still as a painting
Lost in a memory, find me

Floating above the waves
Breathing beneath the clouds
Tasting the air around me, still and low
In beams of light, I drift, save me

Earth and sea embrace between me
Hand in hand, holding me fast
Fringes of seasons pass without change
Stillness awaits
Sleep

Stay close behind me
A whisper away
From flesh to bone to ash
And I'm gone
I’m gone
The steady hand of the sun on my face
I've forgotten myself as I lie here waiting
As still as a painting
Lost in a dream, take me

Breathing beneath the waves
Scared as a child, free me
Lost in a wish
Lost in a sunset
