A sea is right inside 

Right inside my mind, and yours 

It has countless winds 

And sometimes, hurricanes 

 

The sea’s all shaken up 

Enshrouded by fogs, waves, yelps… 

Seeking the blue sky 

But no, all smoky 

​

Though, soon all settled down 

Sun seizing the clouds away 

Waves softened to whispers 

Light spilled across the grey 

 

There left shells by the wind 

And when held to an ear, 

The sea’s whisper could be heard 

   Filled in with courage, conscience or maybe compassion
