Set me down softly
the moment
floats like a feather
the stones
close in their other world
whisper of timelessness

We have walked here
close to the shore,
close in our linking thoughts,
close with companion hands,
closing the loop that will hold us together
across weeks, across coasts,
mind bridge of water and light
clasp of connection
till I come home.
