Betrothed to the Earth,
I have wrapped her in my waters
She has been with me from the beginning,
And together we have filled my waters with life
But I long for the Moon.
She calls to me nightly.
Her shining light ignites me with joy.
On a cloudless night,
We create unmatched beauty
As her reflection dances
On my rippling waters.
As she draws nearer to me,
so do I to her.
These tides are all we have.
The Earth cannot share her Ocean.
Her gravity anchors me down.
But I long for the Moon,
And the Moon longs for me.
My waters swell with tears,
The Moon’s and mine.
