Back to Sea

Breeze on glass
Engines hum
Miles behind
Peace to come

I leave the smoke
the rush, the race
The endless roads
that have no grace
I chase no more
what used to be
I follow calm
and memory

Every road
leads back to sea
To open skies
and wind in me
I’m not from here
but this is free
Every road
leads back to sea

Salt in air
and sand below
A kind of silence
only waves know
The gulls don’t ask
just let me be
The sky accepts
the shore in me

Every road
leads back to sea
To stillness found
in salty breeze
I’m not from here
but this is me
Every road
leads back to sea

Let them build
their glass and stone
I found my place
without a throne
A wooden bench
beneath the dune
Where I will sleep
beneath the moon

Every road
leads back to sea
The waves will hold
what’s left of me
I’m not from here
but I’m complete
Every road
leads back to sea

Nothing more
I need to be
I’m finally
where I breathe

Every road
leads back to sea.
