When my longing for you runs a riot
And chaos grips my mind
I need the shore of your calming presence
On the edge of my raging oceans
For the perfect union to take place
Allowing the turbulent strands in my mind
To softly skim the shore
Of your outstretched arms
Welcoming me into your zone
And calming the throbbing threads
Turning them into an elegant froth-line
Tiptoeing back and forth on the beach
Hearing the sweet melody of the shore
Gently serenading me into a rare state of sublimity
Where you and I merge into the oneness of space and time
