the distance between












Staring out to sea
Across the bay lights flicker
Dusk creeps to night

Listening to the waves
Waves unseen

Waves carry words

Words that sail away
Towards glimmer and glow

Then
those smiling eyes meet mine

No longer fixed on the horizon
Another twinkle

But it’s more than that

Those words

Then the waves
Carried them away
To the distant shore

Dancing on the horizon

Forever on the horizon
