I am of the sea and the forest
I am of the moon and the stars
I watch the sky lanterns drift above the horizon
I think of you
But more, I think of myself and all I have become from what I learned from you
How to take the moment and love every instant of it
How to release expectations and create experiences instead of waiting for them to fall upon you
How to feel the ocean waves kiss your feet and know the cold is a blessing and not something to be feared
I think of myself and know that I am not alone
You are here in the wind
In the rippling, transforming reflection of the moon on the water
A reflection twice removed from the sun
A creation in its own existence
You are here in the sand between my toes as I am here in my toes wrapped around the sand
Together we are of life
Of ebb and flow
