Let Us Go to the Ocean in Winter

                                      Let us go to the ocean in winter,

                                               let us meet by the mouth of the wave

                                      to touch in the chill of wind’s whisper

                                               and cradle each other in our arms,

                                      may the softness of lips caress the moment,

                                               the past, the future, be gone

                                     let us embrace in the silence of shadows

                                               with sweet kisses that perfume the dawn.
