A Man stood by the sea
Windswept and broken,
But glorious and free
With words to be spoken
“I’ve lived a full life
With all my time behind me
I’ve seen hardness and strife
But always knew who I’d be
A man among men
All others I have awed
I’ve other thrown kings
And stood beside God
I’ve done all I can
With my strength and my spine
Like no other man
And all the world was mine”
All this he shouted to the sea
But the waves, they rolled eternally

“I’v loved with all my heart
A woman that I knew
Of my soul she was a part
I knew she loved me too
I felt the strongest feelings
A man could ever know
Every day I knew her kiss
And all the love we could show
One day it all would end
My love with her life
And every day I would spend
Thinking of my wife”
All this he shouted to the sea
But the waves they rolled eternally

“Now it all is over
My life and my line
All I apprehended
Are gone all through time
Everything that I could do
Through glory and through pain
Gone, it all fell through
And all the worlds the same
But know now as time has passed
My glory they will laud
I was the man who lived and loved
And stood beside God”
All this he shouted at the sea
But the waves, they rolled eternally
A poem. Haven't done that in a while.
