moondipping

it will not die
but will transcend with doves
     arcing a promise
               with water
                 with salteyes
                   with you
        between
      the seaseams

                          gurgling


& i shall tongue rivers of hope
       drop by drop
                       spitting rainbows

& it will not die


                  even in darkness
we shall have stars for eyes
& moonstruck tides whirling
our waterbead ships
          to slip us
                            swelling
          thru skies spread wide

      moondipping
                     screaming
                     laughing
                     touching
& not blowing out a single star

           -- birth day forever
