Low Tide at Ocracoke




It’s low tide at Ocracoke 

The beach is wide and quiet 

The sand is smooth and undisturbed 

In the early morning light

The sky is clear and blue above

In the east, the risen sun

It’s low tide at Ocracoke 

And a new day has begun


It’s quiet down on Ocracoke 

Except the tumbling waves

Rolling onto the sandy shore

Keeping time through the lazy days

I’m heading down to Ocracoke 

A place of time and tide

At low tide on Ocracoke 

I’ll be by the ocean side.
