The heir of the sea

The Air of the sea,

said the heir of the sea–

burrows its way in your bones.

r

It whispers a plea

one of gilt mystery

and of seeding the depths with unknowns.

r

The heir of the sea

took us there to the sea–

took us there where the tide meets the land.

r

He spoke then to me

of things yet to be

and of things bound be↓ow in the the sand.

r

The fear of the sea

brought the heir of the sea

a league or more u↑p from the coast.

r

He thought he was free

thought the sea would agree

but the sea fears his freedom the most.

r

The heir of the sea

stopped hearing the sea

stopped hearing its thunder & waves.

r

If silence would be

the new voice of the sea

then she’ll speak never more of her graves.

r

Take good care of the sea,

said the heir of the sea–

take care and show her your grit.

r

From her storms never flee

let her eyes never see

all the shadows you’d rather forget.

r

To be dear to the sea

slay the heir of the sea

stay his hand before it raises again.

r

Do it near to the sea

while the wind blows alee

while the waves rush to take him back in.

r

I saw the heir of the sea

stop to stare at the sea

he stopped staring when the sight left his eyes.

r

I thought I might then flee

but he passed me the key–

and I knew then the depths of his lies.

r

This affair with the sea

- said the heir of the sea -

is really quite more than I’ll bear.

r

I’m leaving, said he

he left the sea’s LOVE to me.

And the sea and I birthed a new heir ⏳
