by Michael Sutherland
i stray
you pull me in.
you are my ocean
and i am your tide.
do not fret my love
that i may falter for
we are one
inseparable.
if i do stray from your indelible shores
have faith it will not be for long
for what is the tide without the ocean?
and when the sun sets
and the gulls rest
i walk fearlessly into you.
