Until The Ocean Steals My Smile

I’m not here

 to place my doubts on every sailing cloud

or figure out how

 to turn the volume of my life up real loud

my vision has never been good for distance

And sometimes love’s too far to hold my hand

still I can find happiness in simplicity

often just by drawing smiles in the sand

maybe they won’t stay forever

I know I can say for sure that I won’t

Where will I go?

That may not be

 for me to know

at least not right now...

So I think I’ll just sit and breathe

Until the ocean’s salty sorrow

 steals my smile

and then I’ll draw another for each new day

each time a bit further

and further away

for as long as the shore

 will let me stay
