moored boats and slapping sails
breakwalls beckon swells
airless summer nights
twisting to embrace

we met and shared
we paused and listened
we stood and watched
we stayed and remembered

tide treasure reveal
witness gathered memories
shy blue spell
brimming with possibilities

within the curtained shell we spoke
scalloped valleys held our story
written notes on aqua waters
beneath a day that begged to linger

dismissed by sleep
we took to the sea
shy no more
diving unknown depths
