PALMS OF DREAM

I shall call your name

Into the soft palms of dream

At the tip

Of the morning dew

I shall blow your name into

The wings of the tumbling waves

I shall roll over the sea sand 

Laced with the fragrance of your name

In the evening

I shall whisper your name 

To the cooing of infants

At the nipples of the gods

In the middle of the silent night

I shall blow your name 

Into the soft palms of dream.
