Today my love and I strolled by the sea,
hand in hand ,
heart to heart ,
breath to breath.
There was no need for words between us ,
as the strains of the surf ,
slapping on the shore ,
sang sweetly our heartsong .
The dampened cool sand beneath our feet,
centered our souls ,
holding us firm ,
our footprints leaving our story.
Only the quick shrill squawks of the gull,
broke the silence of walking as one ,
the returning quiet ,
putting us back in step with time.
The same river flows through our blood ,
our breath opening our heart to life,
tasting the salt of water's balm ,
bringing us manna of Mother Earth.
My love walks with me though he has no face ,
his smile and darkened eyes so deep ,
trusting in this place of love ,
knowing God has it all in His Hands .
We are just to walk , my love and I to the sea,
never doubting , being carried on the waves ,
giving over to moments in time,
awaiting the gift that will come on the tide .
Again and again my love and I ,
will once more stroll to the sea ,
heart to heart ,hand in hand ,breath to breath,
and in God's Time ,each other's face we will see .
