He’s like the tide A surfer must enjoy his ride Dive in and swim, revering him Forgetting what’s outside His waves are wondrous, warm, enchanting Adventure filled in all their crashing The ocean though Has rules you know, and those it cannot break For as I try to fight the tide I find it’s my mistake No Siren’s Song No tug along Could change his constant wake As good as it may feel to me To bask amidst his splendor His salty sea breath smothers me Unable to surrender He’s faithful as he’s always been Unchanging, strong, and genuine It’s me, you see Too wild and free To float in him forever
Does he love me? I think so But oceans know their bounds So as I go beyond his flow The follow earthly sounds Perhaps he’d like to follow me To soar the mountain peaks To leave the sea, dance blissfully With sunlight on his cheeks Perhaps he would create with me a world of our design Alas he knows that sea is sea And he can never follow
Does he love me? I know so Although he can’t come with me To sandy shore, find earth’s galore ***’ he is he – part of the sea Entrapped by gravity
