The Son of the Green Sea
21st Century
There is a sea of green
deep inside of us.
The waves crest high
near heart-swollen eyes.
Fish died on the shore
as farewell waves rescinded,
To a world which doesn't permit.
Here no eyes can see
what touches man.
Sail the sea of green
with me
Find out why the sky
is stormy.
Be not fisherman with hook,
but mere swimmer.
Only in the sea may
one be free.
Dive, my friend, into
an emerald sea.
Be wet with the Sun.
