the sea is awake
today it sang to me of love and sadness
and whispered sweetness
as it shivered and rolled

the sea is alive
a creature
a god
that appears as one
and yet is many
it holds life, gives life, ends life
and it is life

the sea is beauty to behold
and is my teacher
it teaches me
everything i need to know
about form and formlessness

oh yes! the sea is awake
and i am in love
