A glitter

There’s a glitter
on the river
sunlight on the sea
there’s a pulsing of
my heart beat


& then there’s
you & me.


There’s the moon
above the tree tops
a kestrel on the wing
the ocean keeps on
rolling


& then there’s love
& need.


You say there is
a strangeness
you say we must
believe
there’s a ripple
in the cosmos


a tear that all
can see.

There’s a spring
& then there’s summer
a beach, a stretch, a dream
but here we sit in winter


this moment’s
hard to live.


There’s a glitter
on the river
sunlight on the sea
& love’s a moving
chimera, an unknown
destination


& then there’s
you & me.


You say you have
the answer, a belief
a need to be, but love’s
an unknown journey

an arrival
we can’t see.

There’s a glitter
on the river
sunlight on the sea
there’s a pulsing of
my heart beat


& then there’s
you & me.
