The Sea

by Jane Thanam




Does any search end with the sea?

      for it shows off as a goal ultimate.

Row the oar boat and sail that big ship                      

      Speed past the sharks and those dolphin flips. 

So big an ocean before me

      Indeed a portion of my world be   

Can my long heart expand to your size?

      Getting rid of its pride and prejudice 

I’d love to watch your wave’s reign

      lining up ‘gainst the shore with élan

Smiling at your solemn sojourn

      Time and your tides wait for no one!
