The skies speak in whispered tones
The ocean, like choral bells, creates
Melodic sounds, a haunting hush,
Lulling you, into peaceful slumber
As waters calm, and tides slow
You escape, into a heavenly bliss

There shines a light, from yonder island
Drawing them nearer, below the highland
Earth glides near, white birds flying
No chance to make it there, though trying
To bring their boat, across the sea
They’re looking for land, with urgency
Could this beacon guide them straight?
Perhaps, alas, it is their fate
To sail on, pondering, before sun does rise
Til then, they’ll float, under midnight skies

We sailed, along with the quiet ripples
Drifted ever closer, under the bridge
Secluded in each other’s arms, we rocked
Gently to the rhythm of the boat, we touched
The light, reflected on the water, shimmered
Illuminated, the glow of our souls, enraptured
With one another, we drank a toast to love

To dwell in the silence, down under
The calm waters, below the waves
Surrounded by coral reefs, colors
Of the sea, and the inhabitant fish
Basking in the flow of the rippling tides
Where they can quietly swim about
Oh, yes, freedom, freedom from
The reckless and uncaring, the
Human factor, dehumanized beings
When, alas, I realize, as I sum it all up
I would rather drown in beauty
Than live in the ugliness of mankind
