Tempest and Silence: Oath of the Eternal Tide

 By Osiris Valdés López 

I am your raging wave and the mystery of your secrets

I am your raging wave,
the one that breaks upon your shore when you fall silent,
the untamed pulse of the sea that senses you
even when fear keeps your words.

 

 

I am the faithful mystery of your secrets,
the gentle shadow that asks for no name,
the whisper that dwells in your silence
and burns without wounding, deep and noble.

 

When you tremble, I am unleashed force;
when you flee, I am root and certainty.
I do not come to possess you, but to remain
as the sea remains: eternal, and free.

 

Thus I name you without saying your name,
thus I keep you without breaking your calm:
wave and mystery, fury and vow,
all that I am… when you are my soul.
