"Tranquility"

They stood arm in arm,
on the soft damp sand.
Watching the waves coming
and going back and forth.
They were alone to embrace
each other, with love and
compassion. For their
love was deeper than the
deepest sea. Their
compassion for each other
was greater than anyone
can imagine. for they
weren't in love with each
other, but in love for one
another. As they stood
on the soft damp sand
they could see the horizons
light up with beauty as
the sun slowly went down.
