Standing on a Beach

While water laps

Around the feet

Of those whom fate

Allowed to meet.

 Beneath a light

Yet dimming sky

Are lovers gazing

Eye to eye.

And other lives

Seem out of reach

To lovebirds standing
On the beach.

Along the stretch

Of golden sand
Are lovers walking
Hand in hand.

Surrounded by

A secret charm
They’ll walk forever,
Arm in arm.
