The waves play with my toes, teasing and then urging, <\/span>
\n<\/span>Re surging, the siren tugs at me,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

pulls me in slowly until I\u2019m standing at the edge of the world<\/span><\/p>\n

The sun sets and the ocean melts into the sky<\/span><\/p>\n

High and bold, in hues of gold, orange and pink, suddenly it\u2019s as if everything was glowing<\/span><\/p>\n

I look at my hands and they\u2019re the same color as the sky\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s flowing, through me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I see, the ocean in your face, hear the waves in your smile<\/span><\/p>\n

For half a mile, my thoughts are hushed\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They stare in wonder, flushed,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like you and I\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Somewhere in the sky, the first star peeks at us,<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel a quietness that will last me a century of peace\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The waves, they tease<\/span><\/p>\n

And the sound envelopes, you and me<\/span><\/p>\n

I close my eyes, I no longer need to see<\/span><\/p>\n

The universe aligned,<\/span><\/p>\n

Built me a shrine in this moment<\/span><\/p>\n

For a moment, everything that ever came together,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Came together for me. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
