The Young Man and the Sea

And hence he went to the sea.

Ten minutes:

The sand under his feet still;

the air salty, also the lips that held a fire.

Ten minutes:

the afternoon horizon was his. he had a right to it;

He had come to the sea;

because he had life, the sea had existence.

It was he who feared the vastness and worshiped the solitude.

Ten minutes:

he did not belong anywhere, only to that moment.

And this solitude he wanted it to be like the sea,

Solitude without pity:

Dare to sympathize the sea and it shall show you its fierce glory.

The Man wanted that from the sea, and the sea wanted nothing.

Because he had life, the sea had existence.
