The sea spoke to me today

Large deep mirror sparkling in the sun

It was quieter than I know it, almost silent

Quiet, strong and blue.

 

The sea spoke to me today

Do not resist your experiences

Go the way of the sea-plants

Surrender to the wave

It will move you. You will be moved.

 

The sea spoke to me today

It pulled me down, close to it

It whispered silently, almost indistinctly

Sit quietly and you will know my depths

In you.

 

The sea spoke to me today

Do not fear me

I am here forever

For you have my depths in you

For  you.
