Meeting Blue Moon at the Shore

How can I
wrestle my mind free
of the guilt
that arrives with
this lovely escape
to the ocean
and the intimate company
of Blue Moon.

I have missed her so
and the way she tucks herself
shy under the cover of clouds.

To my delight,
she slides smooth
out of the darkness
to greet me.

I cross the sand,
holding my breath
and all these secrets--
cool under my feet,
and laugh quietly
knowing joy
comes with the playful
sound of water
gentle at this shore
of all this
shining possibility.
