adrift
the tide pulling
the swell over the moonlit water
calms as i approach the shore
and there an image
a silhouette against the silver moon
but still i know
the eyes that will look into mine
before my foot sinks into the liquid sand
your arms surround me
with promises
of something more than wonderful
promises of being all
two existences blend easily into one
my life, my soul, my all
you heart promises with each beat
against my breast
reverbrating into each cell
explosion and absorbed
filling me up
until there is nothing left
of the brokeness i wore before you
your promises sealed in a kiss
centuries old and centuries new
familiar as the ghost of the kiss
that has haunted me all my now life
and at the moment
i trust, i believe, i feel, i know
at last i have found you
and i am home
