A walk on a distant shore.

Ambling along the endless beach.
We gaze into the imminent night.
Knowing the melting sun will leave.
Only to return at first mornings light.

The pounding waves of the ocean.
Tell a tatel tale story of life.
Promising to last for eons to come
We forget our daily strife.

Shadows cast beauties glow.
Upon the face of one so fair.
Telling me of your glowing soul.
Wrapped in the light brown hair.

The cooling sands beneath our feet.
Like the countless worlds out there.
Stars peak out from the shimmering darkness.
As if night lights from God to share.

Misty fog rolls off the coast.
Dancing in an unknowing way.
Telling of things that we can only dream.
Like a grand mysterious ballet.

Of things we know so little about.
We hold to each other tight.
Assuring each of the others love.
We stand unafraid of the imposing night.

Resting our souls upon the sand.
We build a fire to light the sky.
Showing the way home to our ancestors.
And the the one that caught my eye.
