Sea Song by Franklin Levinson

Sea Song

by Franklin Levinson

Come go with me down to the sea.

We’ll build a grand castle, the cost will be free.

With shells for windows and driftwood trees,

A gate made of sandstone and grass of seaweed.

A parliament of minnows to govern this land,

A council of starfish to give them a hand,

Our jesters a dolphin, our chancellors an eel,

Our physicians a crawfish to see how you feel.

Our river is the ocean, the ocean’s our stream

The sun’s for our candle and the stars for our dreams

With snails for horses to ride ‘ore the hills

Made of ridges and ripples that change at will.

So come go with me down to the sea.

We’ll build a grand castle, where all things are free

Where the sea writes the music and the wind sings the song

The sand writes the lyrics and the waves dance along.

Franklin Levinson has been a professional horseman for nearly 50 years. At 13 years of age, he was the youngest registered polo player in the US. In his early 20s, he created and ran equestrian programs at large summer camps in North Michigan. He has always taught success with horses to be a life-enriching process for both horse and human and that horses are never naughty or bad. In his teaching, he states, “All unwanted behavior from a horse is a symptom of the animal’s fear and never deserves punishment.” He is adamant about humans not merely ‘using’ horses for selfish enjoyment. Franklin’s goal is that the horse and human become partners through the inspired and excellent leadership of the human.
