" Stretched to infinity,
the sea appeared as a blue metallic skin,
drawn tight and taut
over the face of the world

and tinged orange at its far edges
by a low-hanging sun,
glowing like a tangerine cut wide open.

As the sea broached the shore,
small waves squeezed out from the depths
and spilled, surged and scoured the beach.

Memories of our love,
holding you in my arms
on that the shifting shore,

made everything feel so right,
so whole,
as if we were always made to be together.

Our love holds fast even now,
despite the long shifting shoreline
of our lives.

(together) "
