William Jackson - Into the Night

Into the night
beneath the starry sky
underneath the full moon's light
along the windswept strand
I walked with you my love.

And all the while the surging sea
resounded with the rhythmic echoes
of the surf entwining and clasping herself
to the rigid but shifting shoreline,
each commingling with the other
in the froth of their coming together.

And the wind whispered longingly
through a stand of stark Live Oaks,
gnarly trees growing out of the ragged bluff
far above the sandy dunes of the seashore,
a gathering sculpted by century upon century
of its familiar lover's invisible touch.

And I cupped your face in my hands
as I tenderly kissed you on the lips
beneath the starry sky
underneath the full moon's light
along the windswept strand
where I walked once more
with you my love
into the night.

William Jackson
