The main cause of accidental death in the Pacific being drowning, this painting is in response to the trauma caused by a friend being lost at sea, then the relief of his being found wandering in the forest, and then the cautious levity of the overall circumstances of the event after normality returns. Mark Cross - notes affixed verso

Soy yo que pide, que quiere. Él que por ti cruje y suspira.

Soy yo que vive y que muere. Que todo lo da por un solo beso.

Soy él que sufre, él que no duerme y sueña. Él pronuncia tu nombre al viento.

Una y tantas veces llamándote, queriéndote cuando estás cerca, cuando estás lejos.

Soy él que flota en tu mar, en tus aguas. Sumergido en ti, mecido en silencios.

Am I she asks, he wants. He cracks it for you and sighs.

Am I living and dies. That gives everything by a kiss.

I am he who suffers, he who never sleeps and dream. He pronounces your name in the wind.

One and many times calling you, loving you when you are near, when you're away.

I am he that floats in your sea in your water. Dipped in you, rocked in silence.
