Between the monoliths of time and tide,
Two bodies rise—unveiled, unbound—
Like prayers carved from sea and sky,
Their limbs entwined with reverence profound.
The earth cradles them, soft with memory,
As waves whisper secrets in hush and foam.
One bows in offering, strength made grace,
The other lifts skyward, a temple of bone.
In the hush of the storm, their silence roars,
Flesh and soul made sculpture and light.
Not to tempt, but to testify—
That beauty is born where wild meets right.
