“Meet Me Where The Moon Kisses The Ocean”

The hush was a wash from unselfish waves

Which sacrificed themselves to a sandy shore

To streak their tears as they ebbed away

Sad salted memories, back to the sea no more

I stood in solitude, in the silence of the night

My eyes to the mauve velvet distant space

A blanket which bedded the Sun from sight

So that glorious Moon rose in Sun's place

I watched in awe, as she sailed in regal pose

Sheaved in a gown, her face flowing beams

Soft from her covering of clouds, she rose

Brightening the darkness in heavenly dreams

I stood, my shapes' outline in luminous still

To witness her sweep as she lit stars above

And now came the song of a rising sea's thrill

Then I watched the sea and dear Moon make love

My eyes were now taken to an horizon's bed

Where sea lifted up with dark tidal love-calls

The beauty of the Moon haloed a blushful red

As stars blessed their love like sparkling jewels

The Moon in sweet beaming gave her assent

Flooding the sea, illuminating the dance

As sea-folk sway in white-crested delight

This allure of Moon glowed in romance

And I watched her, bed to high sea in the night

Slow in joining, but soft in her descending

Moon and Sea made love before Sun's rising

As Sea lifted up to help dear Moon's bending

I watched them disappear in the bed of horizon
