EIGHT DAYS FROM SOMEDAY… a poem

Eight days from someday

A quiet night on the cove

Beneath the eyes

Of a moon so high

With no mention of snow

—

A beach that’s living in my dreams

Perhaps it will come true

Eight days from someday

A time for me and you

—

Your blue eyes sparkle, and they shine

Reflecting like the moonlight

Off the gentle lapping waves

Paradise, awe… just right

—

But here we are awaiting

For that future to come true

Eight days from someday

And I’ll spend it all with you
