Ocean and the shoreline – Lilli (Poet’s Pie)

I’d like to learn to love you
In a sure & gentle way,
Like the shoreline loves the ocean
Even when he doesn’t stay.

I’d like to learn to give to you
A quiet place to rest,
While somehow holding space for me,
While somehow needing less.

I wonder if I waited
For the wind to take my place,
If a starlight tide could wash away
What time will not erase.

I wonder if you’d love me
With forgiveness in your heart
Like the ocean loves the shoreline
Even when she falls apart.
