Astral Amy

We walk the beach above low tide
with careful step, we’re side by side,
the sea is calm, the birds sing clear,
I whisper sweetness in your ear.
To you the words form drops of lead
that rattle cages in your head
where fears and doubts of long ago
are loosed to prey upon your soul .
The sky turns dark , the sea turns grey
I grab your hand and pull away
we run together to a bay
where in a cave we safely lay.
You open up your heart to me,
within a radiant bird I see
whose trembling wings are yet to feel
the wind of love’s security.
