Evening, on the beach



O! Dusk, bare feet on the beach
you play with baby waves,
who tickle your toes and runaway,
and sneak back again, and again, giggling;
ancient ocean chuckles with gentle joy watching its grand children play with a fairy…..

Smiling, and casual, you stretch slowly, playfully,
arms open: to embrace the whole world,
or, perhaps, a sparrow, having swallowed the sun,
readying to take off to its nest in God's heart…..

In that one moment of carefree expansion
you shrink to be a tinny soul: my soul,
and, also expend like eternity,
sun hiding behind your silhouette…..

Soaking in all the sunlight
to set free a silky evening in the world,
light emits from you like tender gold mist
in a smoky evening,
bathed in your body fragrance……

I will treasure this moment of pure radiating glow in my heart for ever-
a precious nose pin of most beautiful evening ever……
