too restless for me
                 the sea
no seabird am I
                 to fly
resting at will
                 on the moving swell
plucking my food
                 from its cool green depths

neither dolphin am I
                 my long ago cousin
gone back to the sea
                 to ride the wild waters
to play in the deep

for me the mountain
                 the tree
the cool green depth of the forest
the stillness
                 after the storm
