The Dance: Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas, 1970.
The Dance: Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas, 1970 ~ for Rich It seems to me that there was a time, and it was before you and I--perhaps, the grasshopper age, when, through no fault of their own, they sensed that daylight is the foreplay of night. Even the moon and stars were once said to worship the sun as if daring to ask, why it, not them, is the center of the universe, the same way you and I believed that dancing in the ocean at midnight would keep us between love's empty spaces, like the pull of gravity connecting and reconnecting at any given moment, always moving forward
