I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Sea, Land and Sky

The sea is my mother, the womb of my heart.
The land is my father, my perfect support.
The sky is my roof, and my walls as well.
They all make my home, wherein I dwell.

They are my companions, always with me.
They help me to live, they allow me to be.
They contain me, yet with them I can be free.
They are my companions, always with me.

The sea is my feeling, the truth of my heart.
The land is my body, which gives me support.
The sky is my mind, whose thoughts serve me well.
They all make the person, where spirit shall dwell.

They are my companions, always with me.
They help me to live, they allow me to be.
They contain me, yet with them I can be free.
They are my companions, always with me.

For Poems in April, in 'imaginary garden with real toads', today's prompt is to compose song lyrics. At the same time, for a course I am doing, I was reflecting on land, sea and sky, and the two things came together.
