Analysis of The shore
When there are no more steps to your goal
Where the gentle tide met the softest shore
Where the leaves are fresh and the pleasure fulfilling
Where inside shared love is never afraid
Where the waterfalls gently cascade
Where the air is cleaner than an angels whisper
Where the dog eat dog world rests its soft ears
Where the sweetest candle burns out on the dew
Where the crickets call from the straws of heavens news
Where the holy dove rises like the phoenix
Where tender souls watch over the living
Where kindnesses come hand in hand
And the ones you love always understand
Sits your God the father and mother
One like you and one like no other
