At The Time

 

They came

Walking and talking

In whispers,

Pressing bare toes

In the sand,

She stopped

And stood for a second,

Slipped silk

Gently to land,

Reached and drew

Him to her,

Fell together as if

By command,

At the time

When the day rides

The cusp into night,

And the tide

Licks the lips

Of the shore,

They mystically mixed

 As if they never,

Ever met magic

Before.
