O The Sea!

I didn't feel like I was done with this so here is a continuation of Ocean, under a different title, and including the first part.

Waves of the ocean rush by beneath me
The horizon calls them quickly to thee.
Before me they stretch, reaching the edge
Of what could be anything, an end or a ledge.
To the sea, to the sea! The indomitable sea.
Where dolphins glide by with glorious glee,
And whales breach that hor’zontal wall
With vertical ‘ruptions and sweet mating calls.
But somewhere, there! you're waiting still,
Beyond that edge of sight until
Some place you found, separate from me
With nothing between us, but the sea.
O the sea, O the sea! That unconquerable sea.
To long have I wandered in search of thee.
The whales are singing of the coming event;
That of my soon and assured advent.

A day, a week, a month of years
My journey unknown to a thousand seers.
My ship has taken its toils and tolls,
But this heart's passion hasn't lulled.
The sea, the sea! The incredible sea,
A difficult medium, fair 's it may be.
Taken by it, taken from you,
Soon to return 'f God's grace be true.
Night falls again, to the heavens I glance
Hoping 'gainst all for a glimmer of chance
That my quest is closer to its final end
When your hand in mine will be the trend.
O sea, O sea! O vast, mirrored sea.
The heavens' beauty's reflected in thee.
And with the stars I traverse the waves,
My life I brave, my love to save.

Your land I sight, "Ahoy!" I cry,
I greet it with relief and I sigh,
For sooth my quest is now finé,
And porting I turn 'round to say,
My sea, my sea! My faithful sea,
Much thanks I give on this bent knee.
Though by many a trouble were we beset,
No challenge proved too much a threat.
Stepping ashore I glance all around,
And seeing you in your blue and white gown,
I break down in tears as we finally embrace,
And thank God Almighty for His great grace.
O my Love, O my Love! O my beautiful Love,
So long have I searched, my perfect dove.
At last we're together, forever to be,
Thanks to His grace and the vast, blue sea.
