Gulf Stream

I heard the sound of feeling
In the depth of tears of sky
on the blue rock
In the warm Gulf Stream
I saw the sound of feeling
The sound of peace,
The sound of life,
And the sound of rest,

I saw the sound of kindness
The sound of union and combination

In the warm Gulf Stream

I felt the sound of bells of immigration,
I felt the cry of birth
I felt the purity
In the blue leaves,
In the peace of sleeping sands in water,
In the multicolored heart of coral

In the slow pulsation of Gulf Stream

I have seen another world

In the green leaves of Gulf Stream
