There Are Tears

If I prioritised my beliefs is my life any better
Caught beneath this covered sweater
Meanwhile my heart is open
To the thoughts and inner emotions

For twice my heart has known such pleasure
and there are times when at my leisure
Things come to please me
Caught within this destiny

Beneath the stars in beckoning moonlight
Set forth upon the sky this night
Marvelling the sea is so serene
Motionless a beautiful scene

Warm are the cockles within my shell
Mystic moonlight, beneath your spell
Enchanted feelings wait therein
To utter words from deep within

Where now I lay beside the ocean
Waves concave of sound void of notion
Sometimes life seems hard
And there are tears within my heart
