Seaside Haiku
Somewhere beyond these cold winds from Japan
Vermillion suns churn the black and gold sand
I drop my glove and it rolls in the waves
I give a lot but not too much away

In a yellow coat she scoops up the sky
Five seagulls laugh at a flying green kite
She's been burned too so she understands
She'll give a lot but not all that she can, no

I thought loneliness my lot
It's true
I walk the beach alone
I'm not blue
Blue is the sky in the fiery flame
I've learned from pain, now

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much
