As We Walk

Today I pondered, what is my purpose in this ancient world As I tread in hand with my exquisite golden haired lady To where the cerulean sky touches the primeval sea The lacey gown of the ancient goddess above us sprawling I consider the ground beneath, once covered by immortal ice Grinding the very top soil that nurtures our secret Eden Its eventual melting, carving our concealed island home While we walk the beach upon the bones of creatures departed Down to the waves where the mighty eagles fish for their hatchlings The gulls crack the inky colored muscles upon the hard stones The clams spout fountains of water from their soft sandy abodes Hermits scurry before us as we kneel by the water’s edge We give thanks for all that’s been provided by the great mother Watching the cold sea approach and retreat with constant rhythm As we both inhale the briny salt air, watching the tall sails Holding her soft hand, twas at that moment I knew my purpose © Copyrights G.
