Soft Is the Sea

Along the feathered edge, a red sun-sets To bind the evening in dreams eyes explore Two hearts will greet, till' paradise begets Love leaves impressions as waves swirl to shore These caps of white will churn warmly the sand The world will pass, the change of light is missed Lonely eyes search for their yearning dreamland When lips taste fire in a hungry kiss As night arrives to shelter silhouettes Soft is the sea to these two souls afar In a twilight's pulse when the tide resets And hands hold tight to await the Daystar The fate of these lovers sealed in evermore Tomorrow's memory from the seashore 9/3/18
