She Is Like the Water

He watched her put her feet into the water
as she sat upon the shore…
and he began to see her 
as he never had before.

He always thought she was beautiful
but seated by her side
with her face reflected in the water
he saw her beauty multiplied.

And in that very moment
(until then he hadn’t thought about it much)
he saw how she was like the water
soft and gentle to the touch.

He felt the magic in the water 
as it changed from colors green and blue
and he felt that same magic in her voice
her eyes
and in her smile too

And it made him smile as they sat there
together by the shore…
for he knew just like the water 
she was filled with mysteries to explore.
