My Happy Place

It’s there
somewhere in the distance
where stars fall 
in love over the ocean
sparkling	twinkling
winking

It’s a place where sand records
the sacredness of names
yours and mine 
so close together
etched eternally in the heavens

It’s a place where time seems endless
though hours still roll on beneath our toes
where water sloshes 	then recedes
streaming the night away

Van Gogh could never paint a picture
so serene	so bright
as if the crescent moon
nestled in our palms
to gently drift asleep

Somewhere there’s a wishful place
where stars fall
in love over the ocean
	where there’s a moment 
	reserved for two
