under a sea of sparkling black

stars seem to dance in this clear midnight sky.
we ponder their figures and drink in the moon.


our bodies, they shiver; we breathe in and sigh:
the chill of the night has come much too soon.


eyes open we watch the face of a friend
delight in immortal dreams with eyes closed.


for a moment light and time almost bend
as hope embraces the futures we pose.


longings are hushed by the rustling trees,
the wind whispers grace over words taken back.


how cherished our gift of hearts such as these,
standing under a sea of sparkling black.


eyes open we watch the face of a friend
seep in this beauty and rest with eyes closed.


the cold dark ushers in a farewell, then
softly kisses us with silence composed.
