After Twilight (A Love Poem Inspired by Nature)

As night draws near, the light burns brighter still in our hearts

Twilight arrives at a beach on New Zealand’s north island. (Original photo by author, 2011)

Then we will lie down surrounded by the dreams of the hills, the big moon conducting a lullaby of tides.

Hush now, then woosh. Again and again the hypnotic water roars, and all our sweet whispers are softer than white sand.

Come closer, my love, find joy with me in the warm curvatures of our bodies, feel with me beyond earthly delights the misty certainty of what we know ourselves to be:

two raindrops in free fall returning to the one ocean.
