misty ball hovering over the horizon
where the world will slowly
be covered in darkness?
and then lets lay in the sand for a bit
talk about things on the surface
lapping our soft legs in the surf
greater things yet unfolding
maybe watch the moon rising
from its waking place
red with sleep
and full with age
progress to talk about
love, life, family, ties
connections with people
that matter to you, long gone
stare as the stars slowly blank out
revealing a much darker sky
but a foggy sense
that the night is ending
opening about our feelings
long before we'd ever met
how we'd waited for each other
and how we'd lost each other
slowly see the sun rising
soft repeat, slow release
and i tuck a strand of hair behind my failing ears
as we slowly wave our wrinkled hands goodbye
