The ocean, the sea,
So vast large and blue.
It's the only hurdle,
Between Me and You.
So full of salt,
Just a stretch of brine.
It's all that stops you
From forever being mine.
The current, it stops us
At ever turning.
To keep us apart,
To fill us with yearning.
I'd swim the distance,
And walk it twice.
For only when your in my grasp
Will my need suffice
So take a run,
And catch a flight,
For it's in my arms,
You'll sleep tonight

Endless,
My mind travels cowardly full of tearful emotion
When I wonder about the deep parts of the ocean
The bathyal, abyss and hadal
The Sea
The sea has many faces,
And many different moods,
From violent raging tempests,
To lucid interludes.
It flows past frozen
