The One
Warm bones stretching, breaths expanding on the white sand
Facing the serene sea
Surrounded by the cave, the palm trees
Under the crescent moon
It was cold except for the fire within
It was dark except for the canopy of stars
Responsive in their glimmering
Generous in their silent song, in their meditation
“Are you in love?”
The shooting star traveled for three seconds
The shooting star disappeared in the expanse
She let out a sweet cry
She knew it in her heart
They knew it in their hearts
I swear they lived.
