Beneath the Waves

by Boogienights

 
There is an inland sea I know,
where restless spirits cannot sleep.
Its beauty can not be surpassed,
where memories are buried deep.
 
There is an inland sea I know,
it's peace I find, next to its shore.
When tranquil or whem tempest-tossed,
it always leaves me wanting more.
 
There is an inland sea I know,
where shipwrecks in the dark, reside,
and only remnants now remain,
of ships that sailed the lake with pride.
 
There is an inland sea I know,
it's tranquil now, no storms are near.
But once the gales of winter come,
of crashing waves, there's much to fear.
 
There is an inland sea I know,
where restless spirits cannot sleep.
Its beauty can not be surpassed,
where memories are buried deep.

Please click on the Gordon Lightfoot song that inspired this poem. Lake superior is often called an inland sea because of its size.
