Dreaming, always dreaming
of shimmering turquoise ocean waves
sparkling at dusk,
singing to me, to us: rush-sush, rush-sush.
Hear our wedding song?
Sensual sea spray leans in to kiss the sand.
Even as night envelops us,
I reach into the heavens
pull a star from the bowl of scintillating darkness
write my name and yours in golden letters
and fling it back into the sky.
