The song that kept playing above the sea

Original poem

By Bérengère BalteauPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

There was a song that kept playing above the sea

When the moon was comforting the ones who fell

And the clouds were cheering the mighty

When the waves were whispering to the poets

The song that kept playing above the sea

For during the night

Trees were covered with silk and tears

and my eyes,

blindly hearing

a soundless guilt

or just the song that kept playing above the sea

And perhaps this time I understood,

the sailor will always find a way

to see, to feel

the bottom of the sea

and the song

So holding on to the Helm

I felt Selene above me

Whispering

There will always be a song above the sea

now close your eyes and see.
