Heed well the ocean's sounding callIts splendor we shall not befallPulsing waves of skyPulsing waves of seaUpon the sandsThe embrace of beauty be.

So brief and yet eternal
The sun that rises and sets
The tides that ebb and flow
The sands that shift
The moon that waxes and wanes
The winds across the sea
The life that once was
So brief and yet eternal.
