Early Moon Rising… Poem by Mark Heathcote

Early moon rising out of the sea
Like a sun sinking being dunked forevermore
So no one else could enjoy what we saw
Early moon rising out of the sea
It was a metaphor for you and me

Sea, rolling in or out…it didn't matter which,
Whilst we're both on the floor… living our salty dream.
Oh, one early moon rising-
Like a sun sinking being dunked forevermore
And sand in every pore.

Honey, it felt like kelp wrapped around me
It felt like it was drowning me
And the fishes of the sea were kissing me.
Love, see there's an early moon rising
And ooh, ooh the sound of the waves hypnotizes me.

Ooh, ooh the cry of the whale makes mountains fall.
Honey, this feels like heaven we must be home-
I am yours.
