Waves curl into submissive bows at my feet,

the shore’s golden sand is my palace.

Shining white sea shells are all the jewels I need,

the dolphins and fish are my people.

The Ocean, with all of his power and glory,

is my King, I his Queen, in our kingdom of salt.

And as the sky fades and quiets, yawns and dims,

With one swift, graceful leap, I give myself to him.
