The sea rests peacefully
As I wait for the moon to rise
Sinking in the sand
Completely and utterly at ease
Eyes shut
Wisps of flimsy hair
Flow sweetly around my neck
As I dream
Of singing stars
Swirling
Painting pictures of all the time
That has past

In the moon I see you
Staring back at me
And as our eyes lock once more
I begin to feel a overwhelming warmth
And the ocean tickles my feet
Still dreaming
And waiting
For the moon to light the sea
I didn't even realize the water had reached my knees
As I began to sink
I heard the stars sing

my dear,
my dear,
open your eyes
naive little girl.
open your eyes
open your heart
open your mind
open your lungs
please breathe
one more time
for us
for you
for him
open your eyes

Still my eyes remained shut
As I slowly let myself fall
Into a comforting embrace
Resided deep between the sea and the sand.
