the waves were crashing

in melodic succession,

while everyone stood silent

for nature's orchestra.

as the branches swayed

and the clouds swelled,

all our whispered secrets

dissolved into the sea.

the horizon drew orange, pink and red,

melting the air

and spilling on our cheeks,

like autumn leaves.

one by one, they jumped and fell

until only he remained,

still gazing inward

at a distant harmony.

so close was he,

fleeting shivers bound in limbs,

until her song lifted him too,

into the deep.

your presence beside me,
reminds me of a home,
i had long forgotten.

a distant memory of childhood
lays sensel in your eyes,
of when we wandered talking,
shy into the night.

the comfort of our stranded islands,
gentle shifting maise tectonics,
carries me through the dark.

We the drifting backwards,
returning slowly always,
to when i first glimpsed you.
