My new safe place

across the sand
the sun and wind and sea
rise up and hail my princess
facing me
your freckles new and eyes a greeny blue
my new safe place
my wedding day
a pledge to the heavens
permission for the gods of old to join us
holding hands
a promise to your dad
that i will keep his girl safe
travelling through space to find him
a happy man
my safe place
our wedding day
sun bright on your face
and ocean spray salutes
true joy
my new safe place
