Breathe it out
Toward the setting sun
The waves that crash
On the shore
Seep back to
The ocean deep
Gone
Forevermore
The tear I shed
Gets swallowed in
The ocean is
No saltier
How many tears
Has she swallowed this year
To the ocean
Floor
Tick tock
At peace but sad
Amazed but malaised
The times that we had
Slipped right away
Before I could say
I love you my brother
Ride the wave
Beyond the grave
Tides will shift
Spirits will lift
Bring to safe shores
The rafts adrift
Help us heal this…
Rift
The main event
This is it
The main event
Welcome to…
The ocean
Floor
In loving memory of Sean McCabe and Django Atkinson
