Dream In the Sand
She gazed off into the distance,
Just as the sea was consuming the last bit of the golden sun,
She was nestled in the sand while listening to the silence in the waves,
So many nights on the beach she sat alone...wishing for a sound,
A sound other than her own breath...her own heartbeat,
Tonight was different...unlike any other night that had come before,
To her surprise...one heartbeat turned into two...then three...and four,
Beating a playful rhythm...beating in sync...echoing within her chest,
The sound was deafening ...it rumbled the very core of her soul,
The sound became louder...the beating faster....closer,
She turned in anticipation...was she alone...was it her imagination,
Had her dreams created this being....this creature...this dream,
In the flesh...he sat next to her staring into her eyes...breaking her gaze,
The beams of light bouncing off the ocean onto his heavenly face,
His eyes sparkling so brightly...mimicking the crystal of the ocean mist,
His lips soft....like the brush of the evenings breeze against her skin,
His arms strong ...like the heavy waves crashing into the rocks,
She longed for his embrace....reaching out to touch him...to see if he was real.
