Soft like butter
Warm but hotter
I can feel the tide wash over me
Pulling me to the surface
Closer to where you lay at my feet
Without a sound, so discrete
Looking at each other so affectionately

Righting my wrongs
Hidden away for so long
I’m now comfortable in my own skin
It’s only taken three decades
To summon the strength from within
With your guidance and light
Lifting me up to your haven of spirituality

I didn’t want safety in numbers
I only wanted safety in you
In our own special place
Off the face of the earth
Forever secluded without a trace
