It’s in the way the waves

crash against rock and sand

like your fingertips

reaching for me

endlessly

as I reach back

to you.

It’s the persistence

the unbidden course

of the current

always bringing you back to me

as the ebbing and flowing tide

veils and reveals

at turns

hidden treasures

of the soul.

The rain falls

the sea churns

the sun rises and sets

and days pass

and still

there is this.

Unbroken.

Unwavering.

This dancing flame

this deep and dark

this luminosity and light

that is ours.
