Love helps us escape from the cares of the world, but for how long?

Eternal Currents 

There is no hesitation- 

We play on the warm white sands 

Near the water's edge 

Beneath a diamond studded velvet carpet 

Stretching from horizon to horizon. 

While flesh presses on flesh, 

Eternity lingers by the blue belly 

Of the ocean current waiting patiently 

For the rising moon to pull 

The cold water over intertwined feet 

Awakening us to the world 

Where love struggles to stay alive.
