Let Us

Let us dance softly

On the tip of a wave

Hold my hands

As I keep my balance

Let this wave slide 

Beneath our feet

Again another wave

Shall come and wait..

Let us hum a song

Together in the breeze

Put your arm, around 

My shoulder, and let

A few lyrics be born

And a tune take form

From our lips to our ears

Let the world go deaf..

Let us sit, doing nothing

One evening, simply gazing

At the round moon, 

As it reflects, as it is

In our goblet, as we raise

A toast to a promise

That we shall live 

Once at least, before we die..

Yes, You and I

Dancing, singing, living

In this almost dead world.. !
