I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

I was listening to this song by Elton John and cool thoughts overtook me. 

When I was young my spirit used to play along the ocean sand.  I dreamed of love and God and romance in the embrace of earth, sea and fire.  The reality of the Spirit and His grand plan for me ran like shivers up my spine and there the pieces fit together and made sense.

In those times I felt God with me—that He was all I ever needed.  In His presence I could run like a wild horse on the plains and the sun always shone.  I thought my heart would burst!

But in the passing years life crushed those joys to phantoms in my mind and I followed caravans into gloom and shadow where God seemed distant.  My youthful experience no longer felt real and love, an illusion.  Oh! The horror and drunkenness of that path!  I staggered in the fog where I could not see.  Fate played strong and Providence silent. 

And so, like Cain, I walked a dark path where God was far away— until that thrilling day when I came again to the sea and there, like a dying man, drank in the color of God’s eyes in the water, sand and sun.  Emotion overwhelms me now!  The future I once saw is really there and not just a young man’s fantasy—not just a dream I fancied long ago, an apparition forever scattered in shadows that blocked the Sun!  My long lost heart is still within my reach.  He is still all I ever need.  He is still the One.
