We Hear the Journey Written on the Waves

The sea, a pillar of our land.
We hear it open each season with a different song
on the path to rebirth where ancestors
heal sorrow and loss.
The Dungeness River flows like a dream,
making a difference we feel under our feet.
We arrive where our people were born.
