Just Listen

I've stilled myself upon a sundrenched shore
    and heard the shreik
   from distant birds
Until a time when I have filled my store
   for now
And more than once between the seasons space
   from shores I've come
   returned and gone
To touch what forms within the ocean's grace
   for now
I've seen change on the seam of land and sea
   and listen to
   a spoken wind
of memories and how things used to be
   for now
But I'll try not to barrier my mind
   when a distant
   force has shown me
the oceans mood is going to be unkind
   for now
So when I see it's time for me to be
   on the edge of
   the continent
I'll be enjoying what has fulfilled me
   for now.
