Where does the tide wave bend
When does the sun beam start to warm
Why does the sky fly high
Who makes a baby smile
What would make her love me
When did it shine so brightly
A heat from a thousand years
A comfort that brings me home
She says it for true
This beating of hearts
Is synchronized in time but apart for so long
An etherial world of time and space
The crash of many waves
Pound the coast that's gray
Emptiness away forever gone
But a wall too high will not allow
The mind knows the heart craves
But denial stays
Just awaiting for the shower

A giving heart warms the soul
A giving heart calms the seas
A giving heart breaks down walls
A giving heart grows like trees
A giving heart lifts me up
A giving heart lays me down
A giving heart fills my cup
A giving heart touches my crown
A giving heart stopped my tears
A giving heart soothed my fears
A giving heart erases the night
A giving heart lightens my strife
A giving heart stills the waters
A giving heart knows what matters
A giving heart kisses the pain
A giving heart knows no vain
A giving heart stays for love
A giving heart flies like a dove

Above the clouds, across the sky
An angel watches down on I
Her caring heart and spoken words
Do fall upon my eyes, not heard
A voice in ether, glide like smoke
Electric tongue, advice she spoke
Take care my love she said in mute
Her heart reveals her inner beau-ty
And r and u and e
A love she showers upon me
No bottom is found in her well of love
It falls down on me like a small white dove
A kindness found in no love sonnet
No bard could write down to paper upon it
Words would fail, her faith is beyond
Any description by men and lexicon
Look down on me my angel, my guide
And I will never fail to be by your side.

Through heat and wash the rolling continued
Thrusting and rocking on the waves
Water splashing and pounding on the hull
A rush forward would bring the wave higher
And higher making the ship to rock back then forward again in the warm seas.
Hearts pounding, breath heavy with labor
The vessel steered the course for its ultimate quest
The howling of the sea maiden filled the ears
As hands and back were put to work to keep the course.
Then a spark, a tickle  and a electric charge shot through the ether. Bursting forth, washing the body and mind away like a little death.
Then the soul floats down back to the body.
Satisfied of the task completed

I stand in her shadow
Her demands like blades
Her criticisms like needles
Her anger like fire

The shadow stretches
It crawled along the ground
It sailed across the sky
It rolled over hills

My suspicions seemed right
She demanded a token
She insisted on loyalty
She expected obedience

But I resisted not
I allowed the abuse
I agreed to her terms
I Offered her alms

Her shadow engulfed me. I was beaten down. I had no resistance left.

She soared above the frozen fields
Melting away the years unused
Budding life on old limbs still
A greening now that by her choose
The brightness burned the gray away
As warm winds bring the seeds to sow
A nightness then is now a day
The sprouts will find a way to grow
Her watchfulness of me her duty
She chose then not to run
Despite my acts to seem unruly
She is still my summer sun
For Diana.

Starry eyes of clear and bright
Ocean's dream, Oracle's sight
Broken curling, sky of yonder
Blue twins of lust and wonder
Where to run from, words would shatter
Stepping through the grey, grey matter
Softly touching, a gale does force
Pushing, thrusting, shore to shore
