Empress of the Sea: An ode to life in Pointe Noire

She sings to me
And I hear the voices 1000 queens
It’s not a song I've heard before
But it reaches to my soul
Like she knows the very beat of my heart

She’s dances for me
There’s a melody in every step she takes
I see beauty, I see grace
With every delicate sway
I think she’s following the sound of the waves

Then she reached out and held my hand
She showed me her warmth
She made me her own
And we were wrapped in a timeless embrace

Over her shoulder
I saw him smile
My heart went silent
The rushing waves and singing voices filled the air
She led me to him and watched us dance
As the sun set on our hopes

She’s still singing
We’re still dancing
