The kiss of sea and sky Feb. 20, 2015

  

Tuffs of white meet where the sky kisses the sea, like limbs pressed against each other, exposed in the blatant light of day, engaged in an act routinely saved for the depths of night, the moorings of the harbor moaning as the tide rises and falls, this kiss as deep as the sea itself, and as mysterious, we unable to feel the intensity at this distance, and yet feel the passion as the sea sends its expired waves to our feet, foam flowing over the smoldering sand where I stand, the tuffs of sky and sea clinging to each other, a desperate act, a brief glimpse of eternity they may never experience again, and we, feeling each thrust as if all this happens to us or perhaps we wishing it had, in broad daylight or night.
