The Other World: The First Breeze

Sea Storm in Pacifica, California

From across the sea
From the other world

The voices come hurriedly
Gliding with wings of the breeze

The closer they come accelerating
The heavier the wind grows

Swiftly soaring from above
Edging lower towards the shore

By now it’s a hurricane
Soon to crash against the shore

Truth from Heaven Enchanted above
Screaming to be heard

On this side of the world
The summer-sun-beaten shore

The partying beach animals seeing it
Fold up and flee the impending

The wise monkey observes all these
Having been expecting the hurricane

He leaps off his branch
Grabs his surfboard

Folds up his house
And heads towards the sea

Truth may come like a hurricane
But get your board and hit the groove

Liberty awaits!
