Side by Side, Hand in Hand


Both sitting on the white beach sand.
Side by side.

He leaned back with his legs straight.
She hugged her legs with her toes were half-buried in the sand.
Their eyes went far to the horizon, to the red-quarter-set sun.
None said a word, just the companion was enough.

The wave surfed in uninterrupted, making the pounding sound on its way.
The sound was tranquil and therapeutic.
It reached its highest point then washed back, drawing tidemark and leaving stepprints unscathed.
The light from the twilight sky appeared diffused.

He and she had sit shoulder to shoulder without them realizing it.
The brief touch of their shoulders spoke their mind.
The twilight breeze blew gently.
The twilight sky seemed to embrace them.

She tucked her loose hair behind her right ear.
He always liked that sight. A lot.
He closed his eyes to cherish that very moment.
She adored that gorgeous smile of him. So much.

Twilight slowly came to dusk.
He stood up, dusted the sand off his jeans, and reached out for her.
She took his hands, stood up, and let him dusted off the sand for her.
He kissed her light on the forehead, then tenderly looked right into her eyes.

Both walking on the white beach sand.
Hand in hand.
