By the sea - fishing me - tonight.
Stars all bright - blink-light on the waves - washing shores.

Through the years I brought your fears;
Through the days I ate your dismays -
Now as you are facing me
The cloudy sky is opening free - see:

Moon's up there - windy hair - hear the pondering.
Rasping weeds - boots of break - as you near.

As you step up from your sleep
Some Mary cut a darling sheep,
And as you seek to kiss my lips
I recall our first picnic-trips.

Ding - ding - ding - the snow was out
The cottage nearly covered.
Ting - ting - ting your redden cheek as
Childish you did play.

From the sea - come with me - this morning
I'll be near - as your fear fleet with the sun-beam-spring.

Through the days I dreamt this act
Longing to fulfil the pact
And as you turn from fish to bread
Inner religion leaves all unsaid.

Come again - be again - tonight.
As you grow - do not bow - inside your me.

I remember all the nights
Your mind pictured the sea-shore.
I remember all the hides
Your souls thought she'd survive in.

Ding - ding - ding you were there
While she had her dreaming.
Ting - ting - ting now you stare,
As your child confirms the healing.

But now you're there - then be it me - on the ground,
Bodied whole - there's your goal - safe and sound.
