The Stars Above the Sea

Far, far away one mystery greets
Another vast and high,
The infinite of waters meets
The infinite of sky.

The stars are singing hymns of calm
Above the sea's unrest;
Can ever that majestic psalm
Dwell in the ocean's breast?

What far horizon dim and low
The sweet solution finds,
Where earth's tumultuous yearnings know
The peace of heavenly minds?

And still the sky's imperial grace
The tossing ocean mars;
We cannot see the meeting place,
But we can see the stars.

- Amos Russel Wells

Home

A duet about thatportrays the artist’s deep longing to pursue dance, an artistic expression that can draw you in but also can feel like a lost love for others.  Embracing dance, like many things we encounter in life is a journey of both forces: of longing and of acceptance. Two forces, both different, but both beautiful, branching away from each other, while working in tandem, and ultimately coming together to harmonize.
