Safe harbour

I used to seek the wild oceans of passion
Never a North Star sighting,
No thoughts of treading with care,
Not a worry about my or my lover’s heart.
 
Then, at the birth of my son,
When my heart tore open and I finally
Amazingly knew love, from that
Moment on… I sought out
Safe harbours where I could gaze
Deep deep down to the bottom
Of the sea and marvel at the
Beauty, the wonder,
The love, the love, the love.
