Written By Paddy Sham

Even here on the California coastline,

where the waves roll in with their own eternal rhythm,

under this wide blue sky that opens above the rocks,

with the same heart,

I let the strings speak what words still cannot reach.

The ocean stretches without end.

Waves rise, break, and return —

light flashing on the water,

sound meeting sound.

All my words fall short.

I still have nothing new.

Yet gratitude keeps asking to be given.

So I lay my requests through my fingers on the guitar before You…

only a heart singing hallelujah.

Stop.

Breathe.

Notice what you see.

Notice what you love.

The waves keep offering this same rhythm,

this same invitation to stay.

Meet me here.

We can return to this beach and stay a while.
