A poem I wrote for the woman I love...
Let us go then,
  You and I,
To where the ocean
  meets the sky.
I’ll take your hand
  with mine and run.
We’ll leave this wretched
  world behind.

We’ll think up things
  we never thought.
We’ll build a ship
  and sail abroad.
Imagined lands
  and real ones too,
we’ll see the world
  and learn of God.

Imaginary
  Lands abound,
We’ll stop and take
  a look around.
The noise unbearable
  may be,
But between us
  There is no sound.

Childish thoughts
  our dreams may be,
But just between
  you and me,
They are the most real
  things I’ve ever had.
The dreams I dream
  When you’re with me.

We’ll dream of ways
  to be alone.
We’ll nevermore
  think of home.
The world we make
  Together
Is one we’ll
  Always own

The sun will set
  the moon will rise,
we’ll sing until
  our lungs grow tired.
The ancient stories
  spring to life,
as the sun
  gives way to night.

Our adventures,
  that we made
will be what
  utterly saves
us from the
  reality
of our sad deaths
  and of our graves.

Now we look each other
  in the eyes,
Hands clasped tight
  between tears and sighs,
And dream of that
  magical place
        ...the place...
Where the Ocean Meets the Sky...
