Let Me





Let me feel the glory of the sun

attraction of the Moon

Let me see and hear the roar of the ocean

violence of the wind

submission of the lover

to the beloved

What wonder is this

What time of day is it

Is it morning

dawn

noon time

afternoon

The evening of lovers into the night

What time is it?

Am I late to my beloved

Am I early for her caress

Her sweet lips

Her valley of the Nile

her secret ocean bubbles over

we are consumed in the night.



What time of day is it

What is the hour of love

That cannot be denied

You cannot run

You cannot hide

History will trample upon you

History will beat you into submission

Submit to the wind and rain and snow

Swim in the river of love

until you drown.
