A Feeling Like That
Posted on January 26th, 2007 by Shewolf
What if, by noon, I had walked
entire length of the beach,
smelling nothing but salt air,
hearing nothing but shush
of white fringed waves,
and off, on the invisible ledge
of the hovering horizon
came your little sailboat:
What would that feel like?
What if, just before sundown,
I was hurrying to be out of the forest,
for fear of unseen big brown things,
charging through the downfall
and it happened to be you
instead of something fearsome:
How would that feel?
What if, at midnight, I saw two stars
crossing in the shroud of night
to tear a hole in the perpetual gauze
between heaven and here
and now was married to then…
oh, yes, I have had
a feeling like that.
