a song of the sea

Delphine H.

  • a song of the sea' is a selection of three poems that articulate my search for identity. Through 'THE VASTNESS OF SELF', 'WAITING IS A PLEASURE, I AM TOLD', and 'AND AS THE TIDE COMES IN AGAIN', I explore self-worth, the fear of the future, and my slippery understanding of love. Much of my self-contemplation came during long, quiet walks on the shores of beaches near me, and naturally the writing reflects the writer - hence the theme of ocean imagery. While it was at times confusing to try to speak of something I don’t fully know, I hope that the words and cadences of ‘a song of the sea’ might resonate with you, even a little bit, in the same way it did with me.

  • To me, creativity means expressing myself in a way that I feel best represents me. Creativity is choosing to do something purely because I want to and because I put meaning into the process and the outcome. It is something that is personal and true.
