On Entering the Sea

Love happened at last,

And we entered God's paradise,

Sliding

Under the skin of the water

Like fish.

We saw the precious pearls of the sea

And were amazed.

Love happened at last

Without intimidation...with symmetry of wish.

So I gave...and you gave

And we were fair.

It happened with marvelous ease

Like writing with jasmine water,

Like a spring flowing from the ground.
