Once Again

He kisses Her goodnight
calls her Darling
in an Aussie accent
before she goes to sleep
under the moonlight
of a thirsty desert land
where the River runs Grand
and her Spanish ancestors
have long vanished
footsteps faded away
blown by the wind
that leaves no shadow

She wishes Him Good Morning
calls him Sweetie
in a Southwestern tone
as he awakes
to the red sunrise
dawn over the
Gulf of Guinea
a different country
continent, rather
yet he was born
in the Land Down Under
the distant thunder
teasing the dry Outback

His Tomorrow
a brand new day
to Her Yesterday
hearts connecting
whispering into the late night
confessions and truths
as deep as the dark ocean
that lays between them
reaching out
but not touching
holding on
not letting go
to dreams yet to come
for it is theirs alone
another chance
Once Again

Chasing down
the Solar Eclipse
or capturing
the Lunar
to become One
for He
is the Bright Sun
and She
the Silvery Moon
circling the globe
like birds in flight
south for the winter
looking for home
waiting to meet
Somewhere
In Time
