The beach at night

By yourself on the beach at night
you feel so completely alone...
and apart and secure... no one in sight
no interruptions to hamper you
and everything takes on a special glow
a recognition... this is where we came, us two
I feel so marvelously swept out to sea
almost like walking on air
when I think of what we shared you and me
and how deeply I still care...
Our love has always been like a tempest
not...lovely...and safe...and sound
...and secure...like all the rest
I feel homesick for you, and my thoughts go down
with you out to sea...on the whitecaps
like a blanket of snow...and the fog
seems to melt into my bones... and saps
my will... and I wish we were here
....together still
