Sea Sound
by Zohra Moosa
Sea Sound...
I seek
Sea Sand
on which I sat
was covered
by a huge shadow.
I stared up...
High in the sky
was a huge Sea Bird
Attired in black and white
I only saw
it flying swiftly
Not knowing
if it had sound
Sea Sound...
I seek
Little people
were jumping and playing
in the Sea Water.
I only saw
their expressions
of laughter and fun
Not knowing
If it has sound
Sea Sound...
I seek
Then I looked
at the angry wild waves
breaking against a rock.
I only saw
the frothy water that cover them
Not knowing
If it has sound
Sea Sound...
I seek
A heavy Sea Breeze
kissed the Sea
and me.
I only saw
the running sand
Not knowing
If it has sound
Sea Sound...
I seek
A big beautiful shape
Lying on the Sea Sand
Was a Sea Shell.
I always adore
Sea Shells
on the Sea Shore.
I only saw
its glistening
Not knowing
If it has sound
Sea Sound...
I seek
Sea Sound...
I seek
But
Sea Sound
I never found...
And now
My heart is sore.
