The sea is swept in mystery She confides in me no more. No whispers in the shells Or echoes from the shore. You do not argue with the wind, You can not bargain with the sky. Standing back to back with mountains We watch and weep while angels die. For the face of life is fleeting, Tweeting, tapping at your door, Ravens that won't relent, Yet ones you can't ignore.
But I'm boring you I'm sure. I was talking about the ocean And how we speak no more. It's not that we don't get on We still have much to say. Words are made of water Written in the waves. Now the tide is out, The sea seems Far away.
