the crash of the waves 
the sun setting low 
creating sounds my heart
has never known..
warming through and through to the depths of my soul
enveloping my space 
traipsing to the soles of my bare feet 
draping me in ways that make me whole..
touches that can’t be replaced
fingers gently touching my face 
bringing life to my eyes 
seeing anew 
shuttering the dark 
setting fire to all I knew..
through the sunlight glow 
our love grows..
