"The Sea Between"
Okay, so I'm feeling poetic lately, especially during play practice when I'm not onstage (for 40 minute intervals). Anyways, here's a little diddy I wrote and am trying to adapt to a song. It's interesting. I don't know, do you guys often get to see the creative side of me? Aside from songs, I guess I mean. I digress:
"The Sea Between"
When you feel that breeze blowing over the sea,
Whose cold breath stings the eyes to tears
. and hoarsely whispers: Storm! Storm!
The gulls glide on eternity, simply floating
. somewhere between heaven and earth.
Hell flashes in bolts beyond the waves.
Clouds of an indiscernable hue blur the boundary
. somewhere between heaven and earth.
Their message carries on the wind
. over the waves, through the soaring angels
. and hoarsely whispers: Storm! Storm!
But there is safety on the shore,
. security in the sand.
Your feet lie in the toiling tide,
Wrapped in seaweed long dead
Nostrils flaring, tears running, but you stand on
. security in the sand.
Breath deep and yell into the void.
Savor every vowel, every detail
. of their name.
Cast into oblivion every memory
. of their name
Listen to the words coming back on the wind
. over the waves, through the soaring angels
. and hoarsely whispers: Storm! Storm!
