Sea

Can you hear the sea

It is roaring inside my head

There are a thousand lives I had to shed

To find the core of me

And realise this

I am the continuation of so many lives

With a soul that wants to find its home

Deep inside this galaxy

When this ocean tide

Sweeps through me

I know I must ride the waves

Of my becoming

And even as I love silence

I must not

Remain

Silent

For I have things to say

In time so much will wash away

And yet even then

Essences will remain

Of all our ancestors gave birth to

Resounding here

For the sea I hear inside my ears

Speaks to me of things

Songs of life and loss

And loving and longing

Becoming

And belonging

I must give birth to
