Coast of California

Looking out my window
From the edge of the world
I see the scene below me
Rocks, sand, and sea foam hurled
 
The surface of the ocean
Reflects life’s changing tides
Yet underneath the raging surf
A deep calmness still abides
 
Ch (short)
How long is the coast of California?
Is California just a state of mind?
 
From Mexico to Oregon
This proud and humble coast
Displays its wondrous beauty
Devoid of fear or boast
 
840 miles they tell me
These waves wash upon these shores
To me that’s just a number
As I fractally explore
 
Ch
How long is the coast of California?
Is California just a state of mind?
What dreams and hopes are awash there?
What secrets will the waves find?
 
A pisces meeting virgo
Yang and yin inter-course
A frontier of land and sea at play
Reveals to me my source
 
Ch
 
Solo on V+Ch
out
