Star Light on the Beach
Sharing Intimacy
I came to shore
seeking intimacy
I discovered sand and sea.
In the sky
A single star.
I studied the star and wondered
If across the sea,
Someone might be
Seeing that same star just like me.
Searching for intimacy just like me.
I sang a quiet song,
A bittersweet melody
With words like
“Are you lonely too?”
Then echoed in the waves
A bass and percussion to my song
Which joined a chorus of breeze and seabirds somewhere
In a voice as one I knew:
“Not lonely I sing for you
Across this sea I sing for you
This space between the me and you an instant
The twinkling of a star
I see the light and there you are”
I returned to bed and slept
Not alone
With you once again in dreams.
