Cliffs of Okinawa

Be careful of broken glass
Of falling stars that never reach land
Of gifts returned without being planned
And mountains that steal the rain

Mind your prayers of all they represent
Intentions and desire
Which invite and shape destiny
Attention au monstre!

I know I have myriad fantasies
But I could never get that close
Until I felt I was loved
Childhood can be so lonely

We hold hands toward edge
Far below sea foam shines
The mystery of a mer kingdom
Revealed as the knot unwinds

Enemies draw close on three sides
Figures behind the mist invite
Waves crash like lovely songs
We jump!
