How swiftly Your eyes took me by surprise Distilling joy How can I begin to describe The rushing tide That curls up to my heart? Your words are like the breakers On the beach That roll in, fleeting, But always returning With a new mystery Of something brought From the blue. What can I offer you, But my shores, my cliffs That flow through time? To you, and meet you Not at the edge, Like so many see at the surface, But beyond Where not anyone But us can be Where the roots of land converge with the depths of sea.
