By The Sea Valentine

Where I see a flourishing garden
You see a fiery war zone
Where I plant new flowers
You plant dead bodies
When I go out to lunch
It's because you have nothing to eat
And if by chance I catch you in the rubble
Of what we call the news today
The anguish in  your face
Helplessly I ask if you
Would meet me by the sea
These great waves of suffering
And joy we call the world
Sweeping heaven's shores
