The Rhythmic Tide · by Earl Kayman Naga and Maura Fallon-McKnight
the rhythmic tide
sleek silver fans of seawater
encircle us
glistening with secrets
of moonlight
and we walk together
silently exploring the sands
or lay upon our backs
surrendered
in the warm steady sunlight
and dive underwater
into the silence
the voice of love envelops
in the being:
a quiet togetherness
and love
anew and anew
again and again
like the rhythmic tide,
the underwater silence coalescing with
the infinite grains of sand,
celebrates and
sings odes of joy
for us and every moment of
you and you and
you and you and
you and you
