THE TIDE

This is the sun
Calling out for a fever
Calling out for me to participate

This is the water
Rushing in my ears
Sea shells on the beach

This is my lover
Gentle in his touch
Whisking me away

This is the horizon
Drawn like a smile
Bubbles on our skin

This is our time
Footprints in the sand
Unchanging with the tide
