Floating downstream you found yourself
Once again lost in the tidal wave that pulls you under
Intimations of love draw you towards the soul of another
Whose magnet self calls
Please my dear
Recognise me
Echoing your own need
We wait and wait so patiently
For the day we our two flows can meld together
Distance no longer keeping
Our two rivers and hearts
Separate
For love in flesh made manifest
But when the reality comes
And tide finally carries us towards
Our imagined yet uncertain destination
Who knows how much reality will resemble reverie
There is the dream and then the actuality
As on the borderlands we wait
For the right time
To catch the flow of the tide
And surrender ourselves
Body and soul
To the magnetic pull
Of love’s powerful undertow
