Captive of the Sea

In a solitary moment
When my soul is still and free
I stand in awe upon the shore
When the sea reveals her mystery.
Ceaseless waves mark eternal time,
Sustaining life, giving birth;
In a single mollusk shell I find
The profound order of the universe.

I am a captive of the sea.
There is no other home
To soothe my heart's longing
To calm the primal call.
I have climbed crested mountains,
I have tracked the untamed plain
I've danced in deserts and forests
But always turn again
To the sea,
The crystal azure sea.
