Soul Meets Sea- Fall into the Blue





















Waves are rolling through your head, distance and yet distinct. You think of the ocean, wide and deep, for it is calling to you. You look out on the horizon, where the sky and water meet. It has no divide, no line separating water from air. You smell the salt hear the bow line creak in the wind. You hear the harsh cry of a gull, and you spirit flows free. Free of the constrains of your body, you look around. It is a world of blue, never ending, always continuing with the curve. The wind whips around your ears, whistling. The ocean is there, stretching forever into the dawn.

Waves, with french horns gradually increasing in mellow tones, coming into the tones of the trumpets, sweet and soothing. A piano plays in the background, a piece called Sea Voyage. You can close your eyes and simply imagine the ocean in all of it's blue splendor.

  1. Beautiful writing Ben.
    I feel this photo and it makes me crave the sea.

    Is Sea Voyage an existing piano composition?
    I am looking forward to see what you bring in to make
    sea sounds with. I like the idea of a hollow echo
    sound like listening to a conch shell.
