I taste salt from the sea spray upon my lips
The waves bounce around like they are doing a crazy twist
The white foam swirls around my feet
As I walk in solitude along the beach
Thinking of things that one may have been
Of dreams not done, of a life not well spent
The sand running between my toes
Reminds me of places I've wanted to go
Things I have seen ,places I shouldn't have been
Of things that will come and things not as they seem
Of motherhood that was lost
Life and of death and of all in between
The wind whispers a sweet melody in my ears
Other times I hear laughter upon the air
I have met bikers ,and monks in their brown cassocks
Nuns ,and Fathers ( who I'm sure drank too much red wine)
Race car drivers ,politicians , corporate ceo's
Wanna be sugar daddies and some who just wanted ...well,you know!!
For a while my life was a roller coaster road
But of late I am more settled and sedate
And I find that incredibly boring
Yet still my life is fuller than most
But I feel like I am but a ghost of myself
I suppose age and sensibility is getting to me
Have done some things of which I am not proud
People who scared me and people who did not
And other times when I could have died
But all this stuff I have hidden inside
Shortly there's the mayors yearly charity ball
Hob knob it with black ties and their glamorous dates
Attending for the second time in a row
Pleasantries and networking ,when all I want is to go .
Sometimes I don't think that I fit anywhere
But I am just me !!
