He told me I should meet him where the water meets the land
although it’s not a bright and sunny day,
not one for big surprises, though I don’t know what he’d planned
but for me, I knew I couldn’t stay away.
The sky was grey, the clouds rolled by, a chill was on the breeze
the pathway to the beach was swept and blown,
white horses climbed the rolling waves of winter’s icy seas
as I hurried to the shore this time, alone.
The sands still had a golden hue, devoid of anyone
no foot steps anywhere that I could see,
from the grey, the clouds gave way and bathed the beach with sun
a trail of deep red roses just for me.
I picked them up from Neptune’s bed and followed where they led
to find my lover waiting with a smile,
champagne beside two glasses and a blanket for the bed
maybe we would stay for just a while.
We ate and drank and huddled close, we kissed and talked some more
about the future life that we would share,
he asked me if I’d marry him right there upon the shore
it seemed as though we hadn’t got a care.
Later in the summer months beneath a deep blue sky
we said our wedding vows, exchanged the rings,
I felt like I was watching as a tear ran from my eye
and to my dreams and hopes my heart now clings.
