he nudges her troubles
like pebbles
away
knowing most will return
living just for today

her whispers drift doubts
lift clouds
in play
knowing winds will change
skies shift and grey

her moon rakes tides
impulsively
horizons
palm to palm
unaware she wears the stars
his mirrored gift in glistened calm

her adoration
floods his seas
beyond prosaic reflections
he fears his own uncharted ink
she loves deep imperfections
