I have listened
to the music
of the sky and the sea --
I have heard
the beautiful harmony
and the perfect chord --
But I also hear
a note of terror --
a hint of unhappiness --
a tremor of uncertainty --
These things only excite me more,
Enhance the chord
and draw me in --
Pull me down into the waves
where sky stands no chance
of avoiding temptation.
I have been tempted.
The tears wait for my return,
but I will not come back --
I see her laugh,
Smile, and
Forget --
But this time she forgets
about him
and remembers me.
She has seen my gaze,
recognized it,
and accepted it.
The breeze blows gently
over the sea --
The waves rise and laugh
and the sky smiles --
Peace, at last,
has been found --
Happiness attained,
perfection reached --
No more must the
sky wail
or the ocean cry --
They have found each other at last,
and are happy.
Stronger now,
they can face the new dangers --
the obstacles they know
will block their way --
But the world will shake
and the sea will rise
a million times
before they will leave each other.
We listen to the music
of our fears
and of our hopes --
We know it will be hard,
but we will overcome --
no princess to protect, this time,
only our love --
but just as important the mission --
we will fight to the death --
Someday our fight will end,
Our fears will cease --
the sky will be content
and the ocean will rest --
the world will no longer shake
and the sea no longer rise --
The perfect love is discovered --
The moonlight protects it
as the waves enfold us
and we sleep --
dreaming in our perfect love
of our perfect peace.
