Subject(s): Sea; Voices; Ocean
I HEAR His voice and the sea's voice:
Two melodies.
His voice that melted long ago
In spaces gold,
Unanswered and unechoed, -- and
The soft sea-fold.
Why did He always walk beside
The singing sea,
Where speech unheeded fades like foam
In mystery?
Is love in truth a spoken word,
A cadence clear,
A voice that lapses in loud space
For none to hear?
Then why His voice and the sea's voice:
Two melodies?
