We lie at night

eyesI dream
She lies
with her eyes open
flying fish leaping
between two placid oceans
catching moonlight
with their silver scales

I wake
She lies awake, not seeing
that I watch her
talk to God
I can tell
from her fathomless gaze
And I am amazed
at how far her eyes
can see

She lies, I lie
woken in each others eyes
My pond, her ocean
I drift – in His devotion
to seek beyond earthly measure,
Yet it’s not the conquest of her vision
but the silence
in her surrender

She lies awake
dreaming
My eyes opened,
Sleeping.
At sea, it’s
us three,
me, an angler of stars
the Beloved
And thee
