Sea Movies - For The weekend Hello, From Skip



like a strange ocean bird
he carefully glides over the waves
with the slow grace of a javanese sultan's dancer
an old man still in love with the sea

  1. What an intriguing and beautiful poem Rall. I read it first before playing the music only to find after how well the clip and music fitted the poem.

  11. I do not have sound on my puter on purpose. But I loved the visual. Your words so short, so brief, yet so very long.
