The waves play with my toes, teasing and then urging,
Re surging, the siren tugs at me, 

pulls me in slowly until I’m standing at the edge of the world

The sun sets and the ocean melts into the sky

High and bold, in hues of gold, orange and pink, suddenly it’s as if everything was glowing

I look at my hands and they’re the same color as the sky 

It’s flowing, through me 

I see, the ocean in your face, hear the waves in your smile

For half a mile, my thoughts are hushed 

They stare in wonder, flushed, 

Like you and I 

Somewhere in the sky, the first star peeks at us,

I feel a quietness that will last me a century of peace 

The waves, they tease

And the sound envelopes, you and me

I close my eyes, I no longer need to see

The universe aligned,

Built me a shrine in this moment

For a moment, everything that ever came together, 

Came together for me.
