Our Sea

Together we float
On the sea of our imagination
While the rhythm of the waves
Carries us gently beneath a bright moon
That is blue
Because the ocean too
Casts it's own reflection
But the light of the moon is wild upon us
As we bath in it's light
And the surface of the water glistens in turn
As the stars capture the sky in brilliance
Then fall
Into the water around us
We are love
Upon a broad bed of water
And that love is as deep and wide as the ocean
But as small
As our absence in flesh
So we dance with the waves
And dream in the balance
Of wet tides
Sweeping from far way onto the shore of home
Timeless and eternal
We wash across the empty spaces of the earth
On the sea of our own dreams
For a time the sea sleeps
But we still play upon the water
Like ocean creatures
And nothing more
For this is the life of us
The only, lonely
Love we know
But the sea holds our touch
And the sound of our voice
As we swim and float together
Sometimes in silence
Other times laughing
At the sky and the stars and the water
The echo of our laughter
Rides upon the waves to every corner of the earth
So that when strangers walk upon the wet sand
They will know that we were there
Love has no boundaries
And like the sea
It floats free

Derek
I float in the sea of life and love
I feel the words of love that echo across the ages..so much love has flowed across the waves...waiting to be picked up by an open mind. We are recievers and transmiters.. keep it up friend and don't forget to take me along..

read it again to me :)
