Gardener of the Sea

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My hands are bare
Without a stone, a shell, a seed.
Only salty water and white sand
Running through my fingers –
Where are the fruits of the sea?

Dark Waves
Coming unseen
Bringing the unknown
And forgotten with them.
In the dark
Dreams and fears
Come to life again.

Seaking my shells of
Experiences, talents and dreams,
Many different colours, shapes and surfaces –
Faces shaped by the sea.
Waves weaving
My wrinkles, shadows and lines –
How can I cope with the
Tides of Life?

Three stones from the beach
In the colours of the waves.
Water-colour blue, dark-indigo
And white
Like the breaking of waves.
One smoothly shaped
And round.
One with rough edges
And lines.
One showing the sand’s traces
And glitter of light –
So which which one would
You like to be?

Does the seagull
Ever fly without a goal
Over the sea?
You will never know –
Just try to let
Your goals sometimes fly
To see which seagull
Will come to sit
On your hand for a while.

Fisherboats leaving the shore,
Crossing the sunlight,
Searching the
Fruits of the sea.
No planning, no sowing, no caring:
Gardeners of the sea.
