[bodytext] => Its secrets are not visible To the eyes of the shore, And sweet little wishes Will ask it for more, For what dwells within Is what makes it free— This is the soul of the midnight sea. Its waves are as graceful as a midnight ballet Glistening with crystals As they swish and they sway, Caressing the air With tranquility This is the dance of the midnight sea. It is brave in the war when thunder comes— Fights against lightning till the morning sun… Fights for its freedom For it has the right to be free! This is the battle of the midnight sea! It doesn’t forget the bliss of its peace, Its unrestrained love, and its will to release All that is beautiful In all serenity— This is the pulse of the midnight sea. ‘Tis the moon that watches its every wave. ‘Tis the stars that say it’s sacred and brave. ‘Tis the wind that knows its harmony, But I— I feel its melody… This is the song of the midnight sea. Cradled in its soothing tune So pure So true So claps the moon! It captures me, My heart it holds— Oh how it calms my raging soul. Oh how I know just how it feels… Beneath my flesh it slowly peels Away each layer sorrow claimed, Oh how it sweetly calls my name….. oh how it sweetly calls my name… As I close my eyes to venture there, With all its love, and peace, and care To hear it softly Whisper serene. This is my soul’s most delicate dream. ~T.S.
