And sometimes as you watched the sea
the waves hurtled and crashed.
A thrill pulsated in the air around
and a cool shower of a salty jet,
a watery sky fell on the rock
Life has brought you back to the sea.
Like a lover who understands
the meaning of desire
you look at the sea
with a new adoration,
a magnanimity of forgiveness
and the generosity of forgetting,
you find again all that you need--
in the sea who never forgets
