The Gift
I awoke
in the night
that was drenching the city
I strolled to the sea side...
Sleepy crescent moon
kissing the ocean
the sweet song
of the waves...
As I walked
they touched the shore
like hushing fingers
stars winking...
Gently the ocean breeze
reached out to me
as the dawn slowly arrived
with a golden handful
of the gulls cries
suddenly I remembered
what awakened me was dreams of
her sweet gift from the day before...
