What is love? It is how the sea seems to unfailingly kiss the shore forever.
Love is the way the Sea sometimes seems to caress the shore sweet and soft, but then at other times it ravishes the shore with passion and vigor.
Have you ever seen a love as grand as the love shown to the shore by the sea?
Sometimes though on rare occasions it seems as if that unfailing love, lust, and passion of the sea for the shore has abated. It is a rare and surreal moment when we witness the perfect calm.
No caress, no kiss, just calm.
Even the animals that haunt the coasts go silent at such times, in wonder of this rare event.
How can this be?
The sea does not sleep.
Here is the truth of those rare dreamlike calms we sometimes witness.
There is a place hidden from the view of mortal man where gods and monsters and creatures we think live only in fantasy can go.
It is a place where the incarnations of immortality walk without awe for the land itself is alive.
In this place the Sea and the Shore take on their most mortal forms and embrace in a way they otherwise cannot.
When the essence of their souls enter this realm it no longer lives in the seas and shores we who are just mortals know. For this short while these two embrace and know each other and nothing else. The rest of the world escapes from their thoughts and their world becomes just the two of them.
That is the true reason of those rare calms. That is why they seem so surreal and out of time.
