Two figures walk a trail

On the shore of a shining ocean sunset

Its shimmer lies in the smile of its beholder

Warm as her touch

Soft as her words

Vibrant as her laugh

She is my sun, my light, my muse

She helped me walk on the heat-soaked sand

Lifting me up when my feet were burned

Teaching me how to swim in the waves

Warning me of the sharks in the depths

I love her more than anything

And I know she feels the same

Though we are separated now by miles of highway

I speak to her as if she is close

As close as the rays of sunlight

On the dark surface of the sea's surface
