"All things shining," yes...

"All things shining," yes. But you brightest when I close my eyes and float on this calm sea in the day's middle – the bird calls above me jarring in their beauty and lack of rhythm. Beneath my back, a parallel world, where creatures dream of their own partners and places. I know it as surely as I feel your love for me in all my faults and trying.

When next we meet, may we return as grace, and recognize one another by our longing.
