A former friend
Power without end
To its shore I descend,
I see the sea.
Crashing waves touch my soul
Furies attack the shoal
No one knows its death toll,
I see the sea.
With sharp and slicing skill
It devours with hectic thrill
As it goes in for the kill,
I see the sea.
A foe-the tempestuous shore;
Not a friend-not anymore.
A rocky precipice, I abhor,
I see the sea.
As I lay awake upon my bed
Tear soaked pillow beneath my head
Battered soul not to be comforted,
I see the sea.
Tears of many-far and near
For two whom many held dear
A river of recall does appear,
I see the sea.
No more dark, angry wave
No loss alone to brave
Communal grief does save,
I see the sea.
Cut short but lived to the full
The two whose memory does pull
And soared on wings as a gull,
I see the sea.
We shall never forget
The ever fun-loving duet
But be always in their debt,
I see the sea.
For they made the pledge
To live always on the edge
Due to this, I allege,
They went to see the sea.
