Lanterns drifted on the tide
their silent amber floating near
your fingers brushed my trembling side
and shaped my name through longing’s fear
The water held our mirrored breath
in moving strokes of molten light
each wave untangled thoughts of death
that once had bound my fading sight
A vow awakened in the glow
as shorelines listened for our theme
I felt the hush of currents grow
and pull our lives into one dream
May every lantern that we leave
burn warm across the shifting blue
two souls through drifting worlds believe
their brightest harbor lies in you
