Sea of Sanctity 




While swimming through my whispered sea
I glanced upon eternity
And saw forever was a place
Though time had faltered out of space 

And stared without a sleepy-blink
Until my dreams began to sink 
Then thought it wise to swim ahead
To beat the dawn before the dead

But as I heard a shadowed sound
To warn that darkness was around
Your tenderness encircled me 
And told me love's a sanctity

Then seeing me inside your heart 
As love beyond poetic art 
Drew cries of beauty singing grace 
And sorrowed tears I couldn't trace 

But dreaming sentiments can wake
Inside the realm of life to take
The hope within a tragedy 
To render it insipidly

So what has charmed me most of all
As spiraled fate spun dreams to fall
Was how my soul could finally feel 
When I awoke and found you real
