Once I Saw The Level Sea Poem by Gert Strydom

Once I Saw The Level Sea



Once I saw the level sea
rise and fall with an own tranquillity
but like it my life wasn't made
to act only obediently

and sometimes storm tossed on a reckless tide
where waters crashing rise and wane
I send out my love letters far and wide
to have you back with me again

and even if your loving does not humbly lave,
at times I yearn for the crushing crueller wave.
