Sea's Sonnet

From bluff above I hear the sea call out
"I feel and know you see, we are the same"
But from above I am filled with great doubt
It's squall, "I know your heart, your soul, your name"

The need to hear its message draws me near
What wisdom can the sea so deep impart
And can it see within me crystal clear?
How does it know my soul, my name, my heart?

Then suddenly I feel the angry waves
The undertow- the anchor of my life
The gentle lapping that my psyche craves
Acknowledgement now nullifies my strife

I did not realize how I could be
I stand here knowing now I am the sea

This is lovely! You've successfully captured the duality of the ocean, and you've done it in a very beautiful (and enduring) format.
