I'll take every drop
Nothing must escape
or evaporate
Let me soak it in
through osmosis
I cannot miss this
Your small toes breaking through
The surface of the water
The music of your laughter
As I spin you round faster
Clothed in the silken sea
Holding onto me
My feet cushioned
In the yielding sand beneath
A wet kiss
And baby teeth smile
Our faces close
As we conspire
Nonsense rhymes
and silly stories
As time stands still
As sand shifts, still
The sun warms our shoulders
The morning is nearly over
Your are thirsty
My heart is bursting
I try to drink my fill
If I could only distill
These moments
And sparingly sniff
Their rare perfume
Forever.
