Elemental

 

Our joy was elemental.
Like a breeze on the ocean,
we drifted with a gentle motion
into the distant, setting sun,
into the certain future.

 

We sailed forever
on clear, blue waters.
Alone, we were together,
and no one was near
to hear our shared laughter.

 

Then, slowly, I opened my eyes
and awakened from the dream,
and I would have given anything
to make it real again.
