I Love You, Stranger Kind

 

Your arms – a surging sea of waves

Now all my body lovingly embrace;

You captivate me, mystery of sea,

In your face I see the whole of me.

 

You hide a vehement power, it’s true,

But trustfully I’m stepping into you,

The dawn so glorious and tender came –

A dangerous, yet fascinating game.

 

You’ve carried me so far from your shore

That land and bottom seem to be no more.

My heart is like a sparrow in a cage,

So full of questions, wandering again.

 

No sea-gull nor a sturdy rock was I,

You’ve turned me into water giving life.

Look how the beams of light are dancing,

The waves so passionately prancing.

 

I love you, stranger, with my soul and mind

For you have been to me so sweet and kind.

I’ve long forgotten looking for the coast,

Along this moment’s path I won’t get lost.
