the moonlight sits
on the water's frame
adjusting to the time

it seems not long ago
when we first met
surfaced near the beach
that we split ways

I dove to the deeps
redoubled pressure
racking my brain

while you floated
on your back
absorbing the moonbeams

but tonight
the water captures the light
and magnifies it

I feel the need
to rise to the surface
coming toward
the wondrous light
illuminating everything above
