On Neverness

I will always remember
that evening, humid, balmy
you were dressed in white
crowned by fiery stars
like the most graceful
swan that swims serenely
in a lake of her own joy. 

Meanwhile, I am just
a speck of sand
here amongst these
people who love you.

And as the crowd rises to its feet
in celebration 
I shove my hands in my pockets
and look away for just a brief 
moment 
lost in the neverness of us.
