Ocean of Love

Walking eternally upon a vast desert floor

Dare I imagine love attends my call

What spirit might enable the next step

Searching, when the ocean cannot be seen

Mirages appear, then quickly fade to dust

Images of the mind, breathe life, cast hope

Slowly, a sense of possibility arises

Dreaming, when the ocean cannot be seen

Mantle photos speak to another journey

Reflections in a mother's eyes tell a tale

Morning mist whispering a soft serenade

Hoping, when the ocean cannot be seen

Passing souls foretell of deep waters

Youthful fancy, candy upon the tree

Park bench for two, sunshine and smiles

Harkening, when the ocean cannot be seen

Darling, your open heart brings love

Light casts away bitter dry darkness

Joyful tears begin to fill the valley floor

Swooning, when the ocean cannot be seen

Swimming in the bliss of a fresh new world

Deep, bottomless, unimaginable pleasure

Hard to envision desolate sands lie below

Sparkling, when the ocean finally appears
