Analysis of Sea of Glass

Sea of Glass 1954 (California)



A Sea of Glass
A distant sound
Gliding along
Peace abounds.

I am alone,
alone in thought
In my heart
a moment sought.

Adrift in this Sea
surrounded by worries,
I lift myself up
to face the flurries.

A Sea of Glass
as ripples begin
I am ready now
to face the wind.
