Let us go to the ocean, you and I,
Sit among shadows and taste pomegranate skies,
Savoring blue that bludgeons past life’s sigh,
Eternities that quiver at the child’s cry,
Winds that dissolve the still sounds of the sea,
The sea shell’s ear harboring
The honeyed voice of the breeze,
The taunt of the sea foam
To the lone rider of the sea,
“Ride swiftly to catch seahorse
But you will never catch me,
Until night pounds day
With the heavy fist of dreams
And the dream that’s been captured
Is the dream that runs free”
And the cherub’s voice sings softly
Of sea castles and foam,
Blown across oceans
By the One who is known,
In the night, eclipsed by the day,
By the sea, and the laughter,
And the bees humming at dawn.
