Sea Calm
How still,
How strangely still
The water is today,
It is not good
For water
To be so still that way
Langston Hughes
As if the Sea should part
As if the Sea should part
And show a further Sea—
And that—a further—and the Three
But a presumption be—
Of Periods of Seas—
Unvisited of Shores—
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be—
Eternity—is Those—
Emily Dickinson
Zack Hemsey – The Way
The Way
I’m more content to walk outside the walls and catch a breeze
I’m more inclined to climb on by or ride internal seas
I’m more alive to vibe inside a mansion full of trees
I do this for a reason that they can’t pretend to glean
I lose myself infused in something more than what they’ve seen
I’m not a slave to greed
I don’t embrace your make believe
I’ve never been for sale no matter what they think I need
So let it be decreed
Let this music serve the deed
Let it spread like a disease
Let it spawn a noble seed
There’s more than meets the eye
There’s more than meets the price
If you can’t see the sky there’s too much artificial light
I can’t predict my path, but they can’t fully see my past
I’m running from the flash but heading straight inside the blast
A mountain full of ego built upon a heap of trash
Is exactly what you get when you can’t fully do the math
But this is my way
