Mist At The Beach

I got home from school and ran on the beach,
I jumped in the water and saw a leach,
I thought to my self, leaches can't swim,
I reached out to grab it and felt brother Tim,

All I could see were his eyes in the fog,
He told me to float on the old rolling log,
I looked for the log, but all i could see was the mist on the water surrounding me,
I saw a bright light flash near the rocks, what could it be the old rolling log,

As I walked towards the flashing signal, the water got higher and over my head,
I started to panic, I should be in bed,
My legs started shaking, I lost concentration,
I was getting annoyed from all the frustration,

I got closer and closer and saw red high on the rocks,
I climbed up to the light and found my brothers socks,
I thought that's strange, that's not what I saw'
Then i found the lighthouse that left me in awe.
