Love's Embrace

Drifting along the ocean waves,
I feel as if I'm being strangled,
warm feelings wrapping themselves around me
like millions of jellyfish attaching themselves.
Their stings can no longer hurt me.
I am completely at ease.

Washing up on the shore,
I am set free from entanglement;
free to walk the coast,

free to feel the waves brush against my feet,
free to feel the warm sand
heated by your love.

Even when I fly away to Russia,
I will remember this moment.
I will be filled with these feelings.
My body will radiate like the sand did
on that wonderful day
when you set me free.

The sand beckons me back.
I will find my way back;
back into the sand,
back into the waves,
back into your arms,
back into your love.

The part about flying away to Russia was both literal and figurative.
