The Wind Swept Over Sea
Like a lightening bolt over land
In the darkness of the sky
The deep blue ocean full of motion and character
The huge swells moving along
From sea to sea
Destroying and rebuilding
One land after another
Such power, such grace
Look down into the deep dark ocean
Seek the bottomless grounds
Deeper, deeper, deeper
There is no end
Like the color black
Never
Ever
