Brightly Anticipant Eyes (leaves of Unrequitable)

Back out on the porch in the balmy salt air
With a wind gently stirring  
    your still damp edged hair
We stand at the rail looking somewhere out there
Over white-capping seas lit by million-star skies
And the pearl-silver glow of a moon
     soon to rise
All reflecting in brightly anticipant eyes
That I suddenly find are turned upward to mine
And dancing,
As if to the tune of a barely heard chime:
    "Now's the time
         now's the time
             now's the time
                 now's the time..."
