The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.
Kate Chopin
We are creatures of the land
but our hearts belong to the sea.
Your body rests on the Earth —
yet your soul never sleeps.
Its eternally moving and flowing
building up and breaking down.
Our souls stir and swell when troubled winds disturb
our calm rhythmic flow.
Our inner waves clash in deep discordance;
our oceanic hearts lashing and crashing — it pains us.
Salty water leaks from your eyes.
And for a moment your body and soul
are one.
