thank you O sea

Thank you O sea, For the untiring music of your waves, For the rolling of your rollers, Thank you O sea for your music so refined, This music softens the soul, His sight soothes the poet Console the painter , Thank you O sea For your music, For your mighty storms, Merci Debussy For your symphonic poem, Thank youO sea For your overflowing imagination, For your writers, generous Homer to Baudelaire, to Hugo, Thank you O sea, For all your colors, For horizons surrounded by foam For the sunny south of ancient Greece, For your date palms, Thank you O sea, for your example, For the exemplary flight of seagulls, For the frigate, white terns For the quiet schooners, Who anchor in the atolls Thank you the sea, For your illuminated ships In the port of Brest, For each oysters savored, Thank you O sea, for your gifts Your travels to America You are the soul of the world the source of my thoughts.

Without the sea or oceans, the earth would have one less natural phenomenon about which to Praise God. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara K

What a lovely poem, dear Yaan. As we watch the sea, all these thoughts and images come to our mind. Its music of lulling waves awakens the poet in us. What all variety of fish, it breeds for us to savor. This, I feel is one of your best poems.
