YOUR POWER

I walked across the rippled sand
Beneath the sovereign sun
Who gives and takes away
Our shadows as we pass.

I looked upon the rippled sand -
No footsteps had I left;
I looked upon the rippled sand -
No shadow did I cast.

In the light of day
There was nothing to my life,
And so I slipped unseen
Into the depths of night.

Or so it seemed to me,
But as I lay alone and lost,
I heard you call my name.
There were kisses in your eyes
And caresses in your smile,
And what had been my emptiness
You turned into our joy.

I looked upon the rippled sand,
And saw where we had danced;
I looked upon the rippled sand
And saw our shadows there.
