A Sweet Simple Thing

Standing on the cusp 
of what was and is to be.

Tomorrow's dreaming becomes real - 
while rainy images
puddle in the past.

Splashing under feet, onward, 
together, yet unexpectedly, 
our hope comes true.

Newly etched in the sand,
love lines 
unwind expectancy.

From the cliffs ahead spirals a path,
once darkened by expectations
so
urged by undulating ocean waves
we proceed together
into this dream we knew all along -
a new day dawns, 
sun setting 
on
and on we go.

The darkness
remains only a glimpse,
forgotten now,
in the light and new -
accepting we deserve 
the wonder and awe,
this time as before.

Standing on the cusp
of what was and is to be.
