The Sea

Long ago, 
there was only the Sea, 
and her daughters, 
and the sky above. 

Before the Sea had a shore. 
Before the land met the sun. 
Before Her language was sought,
and new ones found. 

Before Her loves were lost. 
Before the land - dwellers walked. 
Before they turned on Her, 
and passed Her on. 

Before She hardened her heart. 
Before She launched her storms. 
Before She swore allegiance,
to no one evermore. 

Long Ago, 
there was only the Sea, 
and her daughters, 
and the sky above.
