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 ⏳
