Do not look upon the Sea, and cry…

For we are one, you see? The Sea and I.

As waves lap gently, we two are wed,

And so I flew, my spirit fled.

Now your mind creates a fallacy,

You think that all you see is me…

No longer there,

But in your mind…

A silent life that's left behind.

I see your sorrow,

But I don't weep,

Your treasured life is in my keep.

I'll watch you now,

For it's you alone that mourns a life

You once did know.

I've not forgotten who you are

It's just that now you seem so far…

I am alone, but not afraid.

Watch me lie, drifting in the shade. 

Even if you cannot see,

I'm here beside you, as you are with me.

And I will walk gladly by your side.

I'm gone, I left, have I even died?

That I can hold you near, and deep

Forever in your wake or sleep,

I pay, but it is trifle small…

Better to have lived than not been at all.

My soul is light, it sings a rhyme…

That echoes over lands of time.

I'll paint your name across the stars,

Then offer you my simple heart.
