–The waltz
The Waltz
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
The ocean and love create emotions and passion that stay with us forever.
The waltz..
We were doing a waltz upon the beach.
The waves were the orchestra.
The wind was whispering a love song.I tossed her into a twirl.
Brought her back to me.By the light of the moon.
Two lovers danced the movement of freedom
and celebrating being alive.
The waves were the orchestra.
The wind was whispering a love song.I tossed her into a twirl.
Brought her back to me.By the light of the moon.
Two lovers danced the movement of freedom
and celebrating being alive.
We come back to the ocean after each journey.
The ocean keeps our secrets.
The dancing waves are always waiting.
She was as beautiful as when I first saw her
and I held her like she was my last breath.
Two shadows upon a naked beach.
Doing the dance of hope and freedom.
The cold of winter is surrounding us.
We warm each other with laughter and dancing.
Two friends, lovers and travelers who come to celebrate being alive.
Peace for a moment for two people who love the road.
We find each other at the end of our journeys.
Two wanderers in search of peace.
I love you my beautiful Beatrice

Yes, that’s a beautiful term for him, his song “Suzanne” has some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve heard.
