You and I scampered along

a path of bliss and learning

In the shade or the burning heat

Your hand in mine

Or

Mine in yours

We climbed up a hill or two

Slid down a grassy bank

to land on a beach

Where sea shells shone,

Where waves were tame giants

in a cradle of rocks strong

A breeze calmed

Trees lulled

Beyond the rocks

Monstrous waves roamed

Hungry and restless

You sought a ship to

Play with the alluring

Monster waves

But I chose

To make my home

On the beach

And let the

Gentle waves

Rock me to sleep
