Sea Girl
On the coast, off on a far away shore
Stood a girl, perched high upon a rock
As the waves came rushing in, her heart began to soar.
Her arms spread wide, to meet the breeze,
She called out, cried to the Heavens, so far above
“Can’t you feel it? Can’t you feel the breeze running through your hair?
Feeling the warm rock, under your toes?” She looked a crossed the sea
And whispered, “Can’t you see it? Can’t you see the waves playing along?
With the wind? Seeing into the distances, a storm coming your way. “
Silently, she watched the waves hit the stones below
Spraying her with sea foam.
Her cheerful laughter echoed out over the rough sea.
“Can’t you hear it? Can’t you hear the birds singing their songs?
Hear the waves crashing down below!”
She spun around, as the clouds covered the sun
“Can’t you taste it? Can’t you taste the salt in the air?
Taste the rain drops falling from the darkening sky.”
Above thunder roared and lighting hit off in the distance.
Raising her head high, she yelled
“Can’t you smell it? Can’t you smell the foam from the waves?
Smelling the electric charge of the storm!”
She started to dance on her rock, as the storm grew
The clouds grew larger and the lighting came closer
The wind howled and the sea waves rose high and fell down, but rose once more
The girl ran down from her rock, to stand near the water.
Her love for the water was so great, so intense,
That she never saw the large wave heading towards the shore
She was too happy singing her song
For fear to penetrate her heart.
The wave overwhelmed the girl, swallowing her into its depth.
The sea, that the child loved so much, kept her
In its water forever.
She was known as the Sea Girl, for her song could be heard on that shore
Echoing off from the ocean.
“Can’t you see it? Can’t you see the waves playing along with the wind?
Seeing in the distance, a storm coming your way…
