A Chance Meeting

in the shade
of a setting sun,
a silhouette
dances
along the water's edge,
splashing up
all the colors of the day,
reflecting light
as easily as
absorbing it;






in the shade
of a setting sun,
you move
towards me like
a ballerina
moves
across a stage,
closer and
closer;



in the shade
of a setting sun,
a silhouette
disappears
within my grasp,
as I reach out
to hold her
rhythms...
and love,
continues to
allude me.
