Knee deep

Today is one of those days
when it seems like beauty is
absolutely everywhere
and every stranger smiles
and every song has rolling melodies
that sound like the ocean is in your backyard
and your ear is cupped to a conch
waiting for the secrets
of life to give themselves
to you

bent down, my hands on the earth
my eyes on the moon
i am sending my love
across oceans
across melodies
across barries
over to you
