See the Sea
lost in the immeasurable sea enclosed under sunken cofferdams tossed endlessly we listed to and fro prisoner passengers in fleets of slave ships on odyssey journeys
the cargo of life drained out slowly in swarms of unseaworthy vessels as the tempestuous rains stormed carrying us away to unknown shores we cried out for freedom as the words fell silently upon windblown sands we still waited patiently for a parting to begin again on horizons more calm
alas, we were awash in shameful tragedy while we slowly gasped for purifying air and penetrating clarity only seeing white capped smoke spraying ashen pyre
Then, under the calm night sky awash in an incandescent silvery moonlight the distant beacon cast an orb of illumination revealing a hidden gateway moored just beyond the heavenly comber waves and all the portals opened up in an awakening
a witnessing to the deep exposing all the crevasses of eternal, enduring love and freedom was spilled into the tidal flow of memories and we began to open our hearts To see the parting of the sea
