To the Sea
O mighty sea, that draws my heart! Within thy depths I yearn— Where the tempest beats and waves may part, Life’s lessons I discern.
Thou art the spirit great and free, The strength that life requires, In every storm and calm, I see Your world’s ceaseless fires.
To find my peace within your tides, Those whispers soft as foam, To know the depths where silence hides, Within your depths, my home.
