A fortress by the beach I shall build

With sandstone walls to provide me with shelter

Storms may attempt to thrash their way inside

But they will never penetrate enough to cause harm

At night it may appear cold and lonely

Perhaps it is but a small price to pay

For within its care I shall remain in safety

Whilst the moon watches over with tenderness and care

A window I shall prise open at dawn

To bask in the glory of the rising sun

Its rays will gently caress my skin

Its power will warm the depths of my heart

When I am ready my feet shall step outside

With head held high across the sand I will stride

The cool breeze will surround and embrace me

My soul will be nourished and lifted up high
