- Comment from author about the poem: A little thought after having visited twice the tsunami ravaged town of Otsuchi, Iwate. After 11 years of rebuilding and post trauma living, the survivors are much thankful but beset with many challenges.

In reading I was a little confused with the line "at one dcgree" in the third stanza. Was it a typo?
Yup, typo! meant to be ‘degree’
Didn't work out? Know the feeling - even if the context (no sea) was different.
Had second thoughts....sea a metaphor....
Yes! Quite so. One survivor actually asked us if we ever felt guilty for having survived while the others didn't. Things don't work out often enough. Good stuff Dave! Rik.
Didn't get any of that from your post, Rik - care to elucidate?
Nah Dave, it wasn't directly from the poem but from your response that reminded me of something someone said. The "about the poem" section might shed some more light.
I think I see a transformation here, that the end of this relationship has produced, only for the better. No longer a raging, soaring sea, but perhaps peace and tranquility. Don't know if I got it right, but I love a poem that makes me have a good think!
That’s the general feel. Much like a former fear of the ocean has changed with circumstance and experience. And that idea adapted to love and relationships. So yeah, around that ballpark. Thanks Bella.
