We used to stare into the sunset, hold hands and walk along the beach,
She loved the ocean, so on our wedding day we explored a coral reef.
The schools of fish shimmered in descending rays of light,
We were dazzled as they ascended in a crescendo of shades that climbed,
Blues and yellows intertwining like a mesmerizing song of the tides,
She looked deeply in my eyes as our pupils morphed to slits,
Ears formed into our gills as we dove towards the sea floor quick.
She hummed an ancient tune that tore the sea floor to a rift,
And it instantly closed behind us at the very moment of an eclipse.
We embraced in the salty darkness, I felt her figure with my lips.
Felt the scales forming under my fingers as I gripped onto her hips,
And then I saw her soul with mine in the complete darkness,
Then a light called from deep beneath our discreet retreat, “Harken!
We welcome you home in your natural form, we’ve all been seeing with your eyes.
We watched the humans storm the beaches while we completed our design.”
We understood the reason why we needed to align, now it’s time.
