Stone, Breath, Light, the Ocean

Love is like a rock,
a rock, even a stone,
a stone cast from a dock
by one who stands alone.
One is like a word,
a word for one to say,
to say and to have heard
to splash beside the quay.
The sea is like a song,
a song of words of love:
I to You belong!
A stone falls from above.
A heart is like a stone
that shines just like the sea
into which it's thrown
with constant melody.
Then wave falls upon wave
as hand reaches to hand
as words our hearts engrave
with song of love's command.
