Furthermore
You were the shadow who greeted me.
You were the shadow to say goodbye
And so, I left you gift, by the sea.
But the sea swelled down, down.
And when the sea was no more, you left.

So as the tide comes back, I see you again.
But you are only a shadow still; you are a shadow of blue smoke.
“Please come back!” I asked, as you stood in the sand.
But you did not respond. You were only shadow

No power could bring you from the sea.
No power could save us.
This was it for now – you were stranded.
A dark shadow in the sand, no light.

I knew you were sad, but why?
Your tears only swelled the sea furthermore.

Furthermore, as the sea rose
Furthermore, as the waves crashed
Furthermore, as you drown

Stubborn shadow,
Stubborn lover,
Stubborn Sea,

Furthermore, as you go below the ocean
Furthermore, as you fall
Furthermore, as you leave.
