Note to a tempestuous lover (12 line verse, sparse rhyme) |
| A blissful wind brought me to you, Who hail from depths beyond my dreams. Yet may I find no port in our storm? —I'm not sound for the sea, it seems. These sudden, desperate waves, I fear; Storms can take an awesome toll. So please, don't bring the thunder here— Telling me I own your soul-— But, give me sand beneath my feet, An ever-present view of sea: In time I shall abandon shore, And dare to swim in Destiny. |
