SUN AND SAND UPON THE BRINK

Beautifully layered, combining nostalgia, tenderness, and an almost mystical sense of presence.

We shared a Laugh�"beneath the Sun,

A Silken Shade�"our Shelter

And yet, you held a Glint of ‘Ago’�"

A spectral Smile�"a flickered Show�"

Unfurling�"just�"below.

My Fingers grazed your Skin’s expanse�"

Asleep, you startled�"breath arose,

And slipped your Toes�"within the Sand�"

Explaining�"how, from Time�"to Time,

You surface from the Grand.

You asked a draft�"a Taste of Glass�"

The amber Ripples swirling�"

I fetched it�"yet�"within the Drink,

A world�"of shadows twirling.

And as you drank, an echo fell,

Of Summer’s distant Pitch,

“You’d drunk enough,” I heard me say�"

In tender�"Reproachful�"Lilt.
