A WALK IN THE SAND

         
Take my hand that our steps may know the ocean        
Let us walk together barefoot in the surf        
A million stars shine ripples below our feet        
         
Dance the gitanos’ dance to your tambourine        
Sing me to sleep on your gypsy lullaby        
To know you as your poem becomes my heart        
         
Awaken me in your song’s sterling moonlight        
Let me come to be in silver sea-foam's wash  
A pageant marched in sand to Sea’s lapping waves        
         
The sky dyed vi’let in cat's eye and diamonds        
Moved to indigo at its fickle closing        
Replaced in grey mountains’ outlines with night’s end          
         
Mists give way to keener light at Sun’s encroach          
As sky, shading turquoise, whispers in our throats
