Let the sea swallow me up…
Take me down beneath its lapis waves.
I shall walk across pebbles as hot as
coals,
Wade until the salt sea singes upon my
skin.
Let me dive and sink, like a sword cast to
the bottom.
I would look upon Poseidon’s realm, ere I close
my eyes.
Let nymphs take my hand to wander among
colossal emerald streamers.
Dolphins and sea-horses would pull me in a
chariot,
To the coral palace where I might look on
the lord of the deep,
Know his memories of waves and wars.
Let the sea swallow me up,
And then lay me down again upon a solid
shore,
That the air might fill up my lungs,
That I may live….
