Salt Kiss

Who knew the distance to the seas As hearts meander on the tides Forever locked in memories Sighing waters rush,cavorting wild and free Ask not what lies, hidden from our eyes Who knew the distance to the seas Fearless as a feather caught upon a breeze Cast about upon the brine Forever locked in memories We closed our ears to mothers' pleas Nimbley dancing or' the rocks we climbed Who knew the distance to the seas We dipped our toes and screamed with glee Counted the starfish, all seaweed entwined Forever locked in memories Life was short, with no guarantees We worshiped sun, sand, salt kisses divine Who knew the distance to the seas Forever locked in memories
