Atlantic

Rainer Maria


o beautiful, for spacious skies i put aside. 
purple majesty, you restless thing. 
don't abandon me. 

maybe i've lost my faith in history, 
and the only thing i believe in now 
is the sound of the atlantic. 

o beautiful, from sea to sea, famously shining. 
o beautiful, for gravity. 
be with me through this century. 

in the east the sun rises, there are hurricanes. 
i can taste the salt water. 
and when the earth is only dust and brine, 
we'll eat the salt water taffy.
