The sun shines hot and humid

Yet I have come to love this sweaty respite

Appreciate the fluffy clouds in the blue sky

 … we are nearing landfall

The flying fish swarms my beloved ship

She carries me over the salty sea in gentle knots.

My beloved at the market port awaits me

Ah … the gulls bid me welcome

I have in my chest a bounty of spice

Visions of the sun and its million stars

And the awesome expanse of space and space.

I will take my beloved in my faithful ship

And we will sail the waters together

We will call on strange harbours to trade and sing

We will see people of faraway lands

Eat their food and sing their songs

We will sail to the port on the other side

The joy of not reaching but sailing

The calm and the raging darkness

… The sea must own its own

The chemistry of my molecules are ripped

The nebula and the stars pulsate and scream

Across the heavens and my soul knows

Space begets space and yet she is not

And I am the sea that births a baby

I am the mountain that sheds tears of joy

I am the storm that tastes of the beach

And I am the planet that sails into the void
