I got the idea for this listening to Lynn Saoirse, harpist, playing O'Carolan's piece of the same name in the beautiful gothic church on the grounds of Kylemore Abbey.
The Seas Are Deep
The seas are deep, dark and soundless.
We love too much for here, my darling,
I lose you in the forests of sound and energy.
Let me look into your face, then jump
through the turbulence of this world
into the calm of your smile, and it only,
sealed in my head within the eternity of water.
