Fountain Of Youth

( Tommy Mondello )

Like a magic potion... an elixir of life

  Wave upon wave anointing you with it's healing powers

Tiny white caps rolling in... such a soothing sight

     Then mesmerized completely by a symphony of numbing sound

        For hours and hours---

Inhale so deep... salted lungs now filled with pure exhilaration

  Followed by a cleansing exhale

     Ridding you of all your inhibitions

        And heightning your love for everything under the sun

Awakening a newfound trust

  For something that's been lost for so many years

     That strength within you to live your life without compromise

        And leaving behind everyone else's visions of what you should have become---

Perpetual liquid lapping upon the land

  It's a never ending luxury... this fountain of youth

Falling under it's calming spell is such a simple and easy thing to do

  Watching anxiety and worrysome fears run for cover

     It's what you've come for... a starting over

        A revitalized confidence has given you proof---

Soft sunlight upon your skin

  And a healthy breeze combine to complete this wonderous scene

     While white caps continue to pour in

        Then embrace the waiting shore

You stand there in amazement... you stand in awe... of such a life giving force

  Now fully cleasnsed of harmful doubts

     Truly feeling stronger... more bolder than ever before---

Aligning planets... rolling tides

  Answers are found within your motion

Sustaining life... a sanity truly unbroken

  It's a healing source in every way

     These many miles of sand

        And endless amounts of churning ocean---

---Forever hold your breath on the outerbanks and be witness to the gift---
