at once I was smitten
my heart woke from sleep
my arms curled around you
to hold you to keep
the poems I’d written
on wavetops to stay
for a lingering moment
you’d read them and say
that the hope I now nurture
is one you’ll lend wings
when arms get divided
our souls may still sing
to a tune we together
invent and let soar
to a song of forever
one moment and more
