Godrevy Bay

by

Gary Trevose

Went to the beach by the lighthouse today.
Went to the beach at Godrevy Bay.
Ran down the steps and ran over the rocks.
Ran to the sea in my shoes and socks.
Ran to the sea, I was running for joy;
The feeling I had when a teenage boy.
Ran in the water for I made it roar.
Ran 'till I swam then I ran no more.
Blue was the sky and blue was the sea.
Blue was the colour that covered me.
Looked to my right to the tower watching me;
Looked to my left and infinity.
Onwards and outwards, resurgence of youth;
To leave the deceit and be faced with the truth.
And then just as quick as the rush of the blood,
My body told me the thing that my brain should.
Fatigue had set in and the sea became cold.
Experience told me not to be quite so bold.
The kingdom of ocean holds principles dear.
The rich and the poor are all the same here.
I flooded back in with the waves on the sand;
I dried myself down and walked back to the land.
I'll never forget the return of the joy;
The feeling I had when a teenage boy.
The sparkle of sea and the gleam of the tower
Shall return to my heart when my soul needs the power.
