Three Loves

Angel-love,
Fairy-love,
Wave-love,
Which will you choose?
Angel-love... golden-yellow and far white...
Fairy-love... golden yellow and green...
Wave-love... scarlet and azure blue...
Which will you choose?

I will keep them in a box
Locked with a twisted key.
I will give them to people who need love,
I will let them choose.
Fairy-love blows away like leaves.
Angels I know little about.
For myself I choose wave-love
Because of the wind and the sea and my heart.
