Daybreak sea

Oh my beautiful

Daybreak sea

I’ve know you this morning

and you’ve known me

Now as I watch you

from my warm dry clothes

as the cloud swoops in

and the cold wind blows

I see your windswept face

and I feel your cold embrace

and my tongue still knows

your lively salty taste

of crabs and barnacles

Whales and seaweed

perhaps a hint of wastewater

from our humming factories

But I’ll take you as you are

and you’ll always love me

It’s ok, I know you love others too

trillions of creatures approximately

Darling you remind me

of this strong body

Thank you, my darling

my beautiful daybreak sea.
