To the Sea

To The Sea Sea, I look to you For answers To the questions that swirl like your currents in my mind Are you as unfathomable as my heart? Do your swells exceed the passions rising within me? Does your churning and pounding match the rhythm of my pulse? Is your water as cold as the loneliness here? Does the salt you contain taste the same as my tears? Does your thunderous crashing on rocks at the shore Equal the tempest that rages in my soul? Do you harbor secrets in your depths as I do? Are you roiling below the surface with anticipation? Do you long for a visitor to break the horizon... As I long for my Love? Does the wail that rises from your hollow reefs Blend with the plaintive cry from my lips? Can the overture played on your delicate shells Drown out the sound of my siren song? Sea, I have loved you, Sea, I have known you... We feel the same, we sound the same We give the same, we take the same We are one And the same You and I, Your mournful soulmate © Copyright Donna Golden July 10, 1999
