Encounters

Crying out in the middle of the night
curses uttered from the angry one within
reaching out to you
holding your hand
feeling safe within your embrace
the miles between us,
like a leaden weight
yet, feel so close to you
within the forest, so green
and upon sands of a moonlit beach
where fluorescent neon waves
dance before our eyes
our souls meeting
finding love and hope
the littles within us both
do attest to the joy and happiness
that we now feel as we come together
in these encounters
