Love Poem: Water Song

Water Song

sun sets
fire scarlet and gold
kissing ocean spray

soft steps on stairs
palms outstretched 
dripping salty fingertip raindrops
on foreheads
and sleeping babes’ bare shoulders

hush now, 
the Lady of the Sea whispers
eyelids flutter
slumber takes 
the children of the tide
wake no more
