We walked across the sand
Two trails with tales to tell
Our foot prints kept our track
Until there were only two
One pair of prints pronounced one presence
Did you watch me from the heavens?
I asked why.
Why did you ascend alone?
Could I make it on my own?
You replied
I'd never leave you
I love you... I carried you
We flashed across the sky
Each step one day one night
But if I held on tight
Would you take me with you?
The ocean seemed to widen
from shoreline to shoreline
And I knew...
That I'd never have to lean against the wind
And I'd never have to be alone again
