The Chase
the waves are chasing the ebon clouds
the clouds are teasing the ocean
and eternally chasing the whispering wind
which perpetually sets them in motion
The wind is chasing the stars and the moon
And the moon is chasing the sun,
While sun is chasing the sea in the west
as it has since the world was young
The sea in the west is chasing the east
And the east is chasing the day,
The dusk is chasing the last of the light
As it flickers and shimmers away
The shadows are chasing the sunset
And the sunset, the far-away shores,
and, no less noble in ardent pursuit,
my heart must chase after yours.
