{as one does}

Sailing west off the mainland
A familiar direction 
As the sunset bled into the horizon
There remained a wall of protection

A blanket of darkness covered the island
Peeking through the nightfall 
A convergence of paths 
Unveiled a change of tone

The star-studded sky faded to dawn
The sunrise played like a movie
A reverie of two seemingly star-crossed lovers 
Sprawled out on the lawn

Destiny arrives
As one does 
When you least expect it
As love does

My favorite lines by you:

“The star-studded sky faded to dawn
The sunrise played like a movie”

Beautifully well expressed and I can see the movie right before my very own eyes. And the sunset is a destiny of love waiting for us to feel most wholeness and embraced. I love your poem very much. 🙂 I’m very proud of you. Please keep writing and posting more poetry.
