Writing in the Sand

The sand shifts softly
I am staring at the waves
Amazed, afraid in their silence
The moon speaks, so calmly
Ocean answers, desperately, returning to her feet
And I watch the romance of the Night

You don't notice, but I see
Your eyes reflected brightly in the sky
My star fades, til he's next to yours
Urgency steadies my hand
And for the thousandth time
I write your name in the sand

Bleeding to be alive, reality, relevance
Forcing my demons back into their box
They cackle, waiting, so patient
Almost snap, but your smile says I can breathe
The sea crashes around your name
Your star says these miles disappear

And I stoop again, tracing three letters
The beach, the waves, the sky,
Reveal these lines, scored deeply inside
All of a reflection of this little, frail truth
Beautiful in its smallness, inside of me
Beating all for you
