She Saves Me

It’s as if God has slapped the surface of the sea
Cresting waves of the ocean now headed for me
Tidal waves of passion to be entering my heart
Will bring new lives, enriched from the start

The water pounds the shoreline drowning the sand
Now heated emotions make me reach out my hand
To find and grab that someone there in the depths
Together we will breathe by sharing one breath

No thought of drowning, that’s not for me this day
Buoyancy given to my heart is in a loving way 
I now see the surface, the leveling of the seas
I see the beauty of my partner, what she, means to me.
