The Moon Looked On MAG
Where the dark water
Met the dark land
Ten thousand tiny lights shone out
And ten thousand more shone back
From pools of brine
Left on the damp sand from the
Retreating ocean.
Two small forms
Stood.
One on a ledge, the other below.
Small to the vast sky above
With a few timid stars peering down.
Small to the enormous solid
Reminder of the past
Under their feet.
Small to the vast expanse of sand,
Innumerable grains of sand,
As far as their eyes could see.
And smallest yet to the
Eternal ocean.
Far across the ocean
And millions of miles
But only a heart beat away,
The red moon rose.
One huge perfect half,
The moon rose swiftly and smoothly
Into the Heavens.
Then they left the rock, went away from
The moon
And onto the sand.
Across the sand four feet flew
Running, running.
Cool wet sand was thrown up from their feet.
Then they stopped,
Gasping for breath,
They clasped life and love
And held tightly.
And the moon and the sea
Looked on.
