It's as if the sea is confined <br />where it breaks and hits in front of us <br />and just as unobserved <br />you keep standing next to me <br />where the sea stretches into the blue <br />and in silence we are watching each other <br />where the sea stretches, <br />where the sea stretches <br />and I enclose you in my arms. <br /> <br />It's as if the sea is confined <br />in this small bay <br />and outside of it we notice a shark <br />but no meaning <br />but our love remains, <br />just nothing but you and I <br />but our love, <br />but our love <br />makes any kind of sense here. <br /> <br />It's as if the sea is confined <br />always washes in and out here <br />and it keeps drawing us nearer, <br />while we feel great and deep things <br />it's as if God Himself is among us, <br />and is watching us with big pity <br />as if God Himself, <br />as if God Himself <br />brings us here to new meaning.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-as-if-the-sea-is-confined/
