“The sea loved the moon
When she was supposed to love the shore.
The moon knew
And hence made his intentions known.
That she should love the shore
Who was destined for her.

Yet, the Tsunami rose that night for their union.”

I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.”
