Love Poem: To the Sea You Must Go

To the Sea You Must Go

Why does the gull take to flight?
When the winds are on high
Abandon shelter to face such fright
With the gesture of a sigh
Why does mystery defy notions?
The moon and stars just shine at night?
Lips to whisper deep emotions
Why an embrace can feel so right
How can the swallow find its way?
Where none has flown before
Cross limitless miles of oceans
By just the cunning of its lore
What gently bends the willow?
In its moment of silent prayer
What brings softness to a pillow?
To catch our dreams all there
What wakes us at the dawn?
When we hear the sea wind blow
Now before this love be gone
To the sea you must go!
