The Green Flash

With my arm around her shoulders

My skin touching her sun warmed body

Feeling the rhythmic beat of her heart

Her leg slung carelessely over mine

We sit on a rock facing the ocean

Watching the sun embracing the horizon

Melting into the distant waters

 

Wondering if we would see the elusive green flash

That last sign of a dying disappearing sun

A wink that tells us not to worry

She will be back again tomorrow

Pulling her closer we kiss languidly

Content with each other and the certainty

That tomorrow will be another beautiful day
