AWAKENING

Do you remember

the day our friendship caught fire?

Your hand on the nape of my neck

electrifying my spine

Your kiss a lovely jest to silence words

You moved my soul to dance

Planted your footprints in my heart

The sound of the ocean

waltzed in my blissful mind

the sea soft and warm

rolled and glittered, golden-hued

Far on the horizon

bending rays fell into night

as I fell in love with you
