The Dead Sea

One day I walked along a deserted beach

The rugged hills surrounded as far as the eye could see

This lonely land looked so mysterious and bleak

But its amazing what dead things caught my eye.

By the rough seas and treacherous cliffs 

a decomposing goat lay strewn on a rock

Skeletons of fish and bird were there

And paua shell littered from a hunt.

Upon a tangled sea kelp bed

Lay a stingray, black and rotting

It was a ghostly beach i found

Where the Dead Sea had been forgotten...
