Starfish on the Greystones

STARFISH ON THE GREYSTONES

Walk the eastern coast at Greystones
See the Irish Sea at play
Its uninviting grey green waters
Called me to its cresting waves

A trillion stones upon its shores
All shades of grey and white
But I cannot leave...they beckon me
To walk the sands 'till night

And throwing back each starfish
I find stranded on the shore
Gives me peace and comfort
A key to some locked door

A trillion reasons you may have
For never loving me
But I have no rhyme or reason
Why I can't stop loving thee...

So instead I save the starfish
Perfect their points of five
If nothing else I have done this day
I have kept their light alive...
