What the Sea Has Taken

Sometimes
When the northern winds 
Blow cold and still
And St. Elmo’s fire 
Blazes in the night sky

Sometimes
When flying fish
Scurry about the darkness 
Over the cold North Sea
Casting dolphin shadows
On the icy waters

I think of you
Thinking of me
And wonder
Why the sea
Has taken you
Away
