She stood on the beach,
and he came out of the
waves.
He was so like her,
and so opposite to her!
They embraced for a
moment,
and the moment seemed forever.
Then a tear fell from her
eye,
a tear of joy,
a tear that held all the earth and sky in it.
The
tear fell on his shoulder
and he changed!
He became grey and
spindly,
like an unborn child!
She stepped back in horror!
"What are
you?" she asked.
"This is one of my forms," he said.
"I came to you first
in another form.
Now you will see me in my true form."
Suddenly the earth
spun under her feet,
and she was looking into the stars.
She lay like
that for a long time
til another voice spoke.
"Miss, are you OK?"
She
looked up into the face of a gorgeous lifeguard,
and his eyes were like
stars.
