Only
I see the sea;
Minute,
hour, mist to foam,
A
plank among the wreck, I
And
a seething hiss, a shore.
The
taste and smell of rust
Many
days old, moan and creak;
My
teeth grind on iron sand,
But
only I see the sea.
Heady
swells greet the dawn,
Riptides
tear the day in two;
Lifeboats
drift just out of reach,
And
only I see the sea.
Happy
faces turn about,
Blind
and smiling endlessly;
Make
it stop, just make it stop,
Yet
only I see the sea.
Friends
long gone, long ago,
Now
a distant memory;
Floating
between sky and sky,
Only
I see the sea.
