Currituck County, North Carolina |
Facing the sea with the mountains in me
a few words on a page are the most I can do
when the hills and the coast
are the me and the you
with the wind off the sea
and the wind in bare trees
with birds in a line
sailing over the waves
and birds in a wave
rising up from the fields
their calls on the gale are the calls of the sea
the calls of the surf are the wind in the trees
the calls of the heart on the November coast
are the spill of the waves
in our tossing horizons
a little of me
a little of you
a few birds in the air
a few words on the page
are the most I can do.
