We stepped onto the coast by noon The Sun above, a glowing rune Barefoot paths on golden shore No clocks to chase, no need for more Driftwood stacked, a kite in flight Cold drinks passed in fading light We marked the tide, not time of day And let the breeze just guide our way Where grains of sand begin to play Our cares dissolve and slip away No rush to name what this could be Just joy, without apology We smiled until the stars took shape The sea became our sweet escape To waste this gift would be a tragedy When living fully sets us free Shells that whisper, waves reply A sunburned laugh, a seagull's cry Salted lips and tangled hair No need to ask, we're meant to share Wrote quick poems with our feet The tide came in, erased them neat No need to hold what must let go The beauty lies in what we know Where grains of sand begin to play Our cares dissolve and slip away No rush to name what this could be Just joy, without apology We smiled until the stars took shape The sea became our sweet escape To waste this gift would be a tragedy When living fully sets us free And when we leave this shoreline sound We'll keep the peace that we have found Not bottled up or sold or caught Just moments that can't be forgot Where grains of sand begin to play Our cares dissolve and slip away No rush to name what this could be Just joy, without apology We smiled until the stars took shape The sea became our sweet escape To waste this gift would be a tragedy When living fully sets us free Yeah, living fully sets us free
