The sea soothed the mind
As whispers intertwined
With the winds caressing
To soothe the character

The moon reflections
Bounced within in brilliance
That self analysis smiled
In the intensity of comfort

The warm breathe of salt breezes
Tasted the spirit of wildness
Rusting the iron fortress
Of conformity

Bare feet that escaped confinement
Rustled with the grains of independence
Each piece unique
Until molded by water

The lost horizon
Seeks you out like a bottle
With a cork in it
Stating your purpose

Casting a line like you were fishing
You throw an invisible wish out
Hoping to trap this feeling
In the lure of internal peace

So relaxed you melt into endless ecstasy
That releases your spirit
To fly with wings that span the universe
Among the stars of mystery

The sunrise takes away part of the show
And in the horizon I see you coming
To join me in my isolation
In a cuddle that ripples threw me

Together we feel
Together we join
In the sand claiming both of us
In such power we mold into one

As the waves awake
In the tide withdrawing
Hand in hand we retreat
Leaving a lasting impression
