i dreamt once to be swept away
by love like waves; set astray
feelings loose like golden sand
by every sweep of someone's hand
yet when it came---
it felt like troubled waters
chaotic but full of wonders
then I began to ponder,
love is like tidal waves,
larger than shallow tides
nothing like a little light---
but something that gives a sunburned heart.
a little memory of mine as i came back from the sea.
