For You
For you I am here
being cooled by this breeze
coming in off the water, soul deep
in an evening breaking out in stars,
being soothed by the soft sound
of lapping waves filtering through
the muted air.
And for you I take in the sky strung
with the filaments of creation,
the moon veiled by a thin gauze
of glowing cloud and see
in a long, faintly brushed ribbon
of light, the edge of our galaxy
stretched out above.
And so,
I have become the means
for you to feel this evening,
its unfolding in time and space,
whilst you remain hidden
from me, unreachable
behind the impenetrable silence
of eternity.
