The water sparkles tonight
Like a starlit panorama of glass
Releasing my heart to skip the ripples there
Let follow with my mind in the serenade of evening
Not sure if it was your tears that I kissed, or my own
Mostly positive they were both

The space here beside me feels warm
As if the moonlight has purpose holding that place
My hand gravitates, and reality proves nothing new
In the drifting out of peace, I remark so many one-way streets
Noisy and urgent…knowing I was lost, yet turning destined knots
Knowing I was tied there, something to teach and learn

That echo sparkles tonight
Through pine bows and the smell of cedar in my blood
The close of something…a moist breath at my shoulder
Empty, that space…quiet in that place…my hand gravitates there
The ducks laugh at the moonrise, careless and rampant they baud
The water sparkles tonight…and I drink in thirst of the music

Oh TD - I find myself swallowed into the beauty of your words - you weave magic -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

This entire poem was stunning, but this part this way you ended it, served up a beginning standing 10 feet tall!

The water sparkles tonight
Like a starlit panorama of glass
Releasing my heart to skip the ripples there


you bring me right there, with heart in hand ready to release and revel in the sheer joy of love without conditions.
