Incoming Tide
Imagine the ocean waves rolling in
seabirds gliding away with a red sun
a warm evening breeze
causing clouds to spread
the hands of lovers warmly held
as they walk along the pebbled sands
to watch the daylight meld into the sea
leaving footprints to flee with each joyous stride
beneath a wide black sky of starlight and moonglow
to wash across an incoming tide
the beauty of it all causes their eyes to cry
when the wings of their dreams
lift them wondrously high
filled with images of soulful bliss
as their hearts are duly wed, their joy is fed
by a single rose held in their hands
inviting a kiss, that was imagined
when they walked upon the ocean sands
