YOU AND I

YOU AND I

  I could see the shadows merging as one Under the silver crescent moon Stretching forth her luring hand Beckoning to the northern star This night must be illuminated   The strong westerly breeze of the coast Swept on the sandy Gambian beach Blowing hard on human and huts Above the white carpet of sandy shore Drawing the feeling and sounds together   And in the detached mood of anger Caused by an offending story About things that are past and gone You whispered into my ear ‘Why spoil a beautiful evening outing’   The cloudy sky must not eclipse our love As eventide brought forth warmth

The pulsating rhythm of nature called for embrace

We could hear the waves lapping to the shore

And the sea beckoning for a swim   Like twins swimming in the ocean of the womb

The luring power of the sea submerged our beings

Reminding us the common source of all And out of the blue waters of the Atlantic I found the true meaning of love
