Tenerife Sea

Beneath the shadow of this gnarled tree

was where I found peace.

I never needed to be part of 

the dancing and laughing,

for watching has always been enough.

What's hard for me to resist though

was the beckoning call of the

blue sea and its crashing waves. 

As if it's trying to pull

all the sand from the shore into its depths,

until it reaches my hesitant feet

that has been too scared to test its waters.

*** This is not the Tenerife Sea though, this is our localized version, the Batangas Beach. ;) 

*****

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need...

Lumiere, darling

Lumiere over me...
