On Entering The Sea

Love happened at last, And we entered God's paradise, Sliding Under the skin of the water Like fish. We saw the precious pearls of the sea And were amazed. Love happened at last Without intimidation?with symmetry of wish. So I gave?and you gave And we were fair. It happened with marvelous ease Like writing with jasmine water, Like a spring flowing from the ground.
