when we dance
love dance steps
I reach under your water
you climb onto my island
with bare foot steps
and cling to my tree root
you say the winds are strong
and you want me
to hold you fast and slow
when you rock from the gusts
you say you are glad I am strong
and that I can bend that way
where you need me to be
for moments just before
you let go and float
on sigh breezes...
