Breathless night
Kept close with two hands
Faraway places
And prayers for safety
A small boat rests on the water
I am sitting with you there
Speaking of other sunsets
Of winds so powerful
Tears dry too fast to cry
We laugh
The boat sits so close listening
My smile slips
I take your hand and smile again
Look
The river is laid out like a journey
The levels of meaning in this
The levels of meaning in this poem are very profound.
