From The Sea









  


Down by the Sea...29.5381*N, 81.2233* W

At dawn I chart my song
I call to all who live by the shore

I flung my net out into the sea
where the sand and silver shines its lyric lines

The waves begin to laugh as the helmsman sings
And I smile at the wrinkled shore and the salt from her soft green hair

Such are tales of ancient lore
As the helmsman chants his haunting song

Chant your song, make it loud and clear
So full of longing, the sea birds poise to hear

Never a fish have I caught so fair
Never a dream intangled in my nets have I seen

The helmsman answered, learn the secrets of the sea
Only the brave will comprehend its mystery

I smile at the wrinkled shore
Unraveling velvet flows of the maiden's hair

I held her close where at rest she would not be
I sang the helmsman's song for her beauty that I see

Helmsman, teach me that song till my heart is full
Tell me all the secrets of the sea

A joy to brief...then rolled away with the tide
Tomorrow...tomorrow I will again comprehend her mystery...
