When I was little

water in the ocean

seemed like peace,

where I came from

where I'm going

and the places between.

But as I grew older

and grasped my mortality,

the ocean became

danger, pain and loss.

I now saw the ocean

as camouflaged death,

and wished that

that sly bandit

wouldn't exist.

I became a

pale, dead, dehydrated

father. Perhaps my

own thirst had

made me return,

or visions from

the past.

These days

I'm back

neither pastor

nor tutor.

Don't delay the festival

continue the horn,

I'm returning back to

where I'll be reborn.
