She Mostly Amazes Me

She mostly amazes me
like synchronicity,
like electricity
to the holder of the key
attached to the kite
tossed by the storm,
like the desert holds
the heat,
like Billie Holiday
stayed just
    behind
  the
beat,
like moments utterly
unique,
like remembering not to
speak
when silence will say
more,
like the roar of the
surf
as you swim
farther from the beach
than ever before,
like the sea
when it tires
of the wild depths
(because it has promises
to keep)
and embraces the smooth
shoreline
and sings lovers
to sleep.
