Sublime cool breezes Relieve, hot sultry moments. Wax and wanes against the tide Forgive, under soft moonlight. Passes over us like a storm Feel, the pause of exhilaration. Moving ripples in the stream Hope, in the shallows of darkness. Splendor of raindrops Listen, to the moments lost. Perpetuates plunge from the Jetty Nurture, the joy of faith. Plummet into the Abyss Breathe, the rise and fall of emotion.
