Seen 12 November 2011

The sea is the backdrop

The boys, the men

A father, a son

The sea a witness

Seems silent, full of secrets

Secrets of the past

And the sea becomes a refuge

A means to escape the reality

Until reality comes to shake up the scene

Memories from the past

Why can't they stay in the past

Why must it be present

Why must it be so painful

The hurt, is there any way to escape that hurt

The sea comes to the rescue

For a moment, no forever

It is not the solution

As your place is not at sea

You belong somewhere else

You have to start anew

The past will remain in memory

But for now

The present is here, the reality

It has to be faced

Whatever the consequence

The sea is not the protection, solution
