The Glory of the Ocean
Daniel Meyer-O’Keeffe, Leah B. Levinson, Richard Chowenhill, Kern Haug
Glory! I saw the ocean from up on a hill
And I looked out upon the waves
I looked out upon the waves
Become individual things out of the mass
Eternal, breaking all over themselves
I looked at the waves, and felt surrounded
I felt the water deep in my lungs
I felt the water deep in my lungs
And I let myself slip away
Glory! Taking it in…
My body – give it away
An empty space
With nothing after all
Yes! This is it! This is the Ocean!
My body – give it away
Nothing to begin with
And nothing after all
(Rise and fall and rise and fall risе and fall ∞ )
Time held me green and dying
In thе mercy of its means
Though I sang in my chains like the sea
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea
