Constant shallow ripples
Lap gently at my soul
Where meanderings gather
In the depths of love’s river
In times of calm relfection
Viewing a thousand waves
Your song plays from the oceans
As romance dreams anew
Reflections of perfection
In a soft and gentle smile
Passion’s lovely precursor
The morning sun of you
Timidly, he peeks under the door
Stilled by the sight he sees inside
First thought is to jump for joy
Second thought, to run and hide
He finds a space to rest and pray
In his God he dares confide
Mind and heart and spirit dance
One day three will coincide
He knows the river forever moves
Sees it rolling strong and wide
Into an ocean, oh so deep
Ebbing, flowing, with the tide
He chooses to open up the door
Erase the things that did divide
Trust in love, and trust in her
Leave the cold and doubt outside
Now’s the time to take the chance
In love and humble faith decide
Again he offers her his hand
Asks if she would be his bride
I love you.
Will you marry me?
sandpaper of the soul
gratitying pain
sanctifying rain
move toward the whole
take a breath of air
feel the cleansing power
walk another hour
breathe out the despair
waves of ocean blue
kiss the sands of time
footprints fade away
left by me and you
leave another ryhme
smoothed again today
sailing, sailing
drifting toward the ocean blue
old fog is lifting
replaced by thoughts of you
drifting down the river of change
gently embraced, wings of pain
melding hearts, in you, remain
star-filled night… morning’s rain
sailing, sailing
drifting toward the ocean blue
new fog is lifting
replaced by thoughts of you
drifting, drifting
toward a sea so deep
love fills the sails
wind wakes us from sleep
