My dear
sunlight sprinkled blue lagoon
graceful ballet dance
we share a summer afternoon
by choice and not by chance
in different worlds we live apart
together once again
my waterworld, your land and skies
exchanging now and then.
as friend you know my time and space
you visit me right there
you learn to love the seas, to swim
your learning shows you care.
I do the same for you, I race
on beaches basked with sun,
I smell the flowers on water banks
on wooded paths I run.
unbounded separate wonder lives
we live them sharingly
though intertwining interludes
we let each other be
I am your friend though left alone
no barrier’s can be seen
we freely to and fro across
the magic in-betweens
and as the years come by and go
and we too grow with them
in touch across all time and space
we’ll wander now and then
I’m glad you’re here and there with me
I’m glad for all that was
I’m glad for all that’s going to be
I love you …..just because!
