Two people on the beach in Malibu gazed at the ocean linking their two lands. One of them was me. One of them was you. To a drumbeat, deep, we were joining hands. The waves and the rhythm of our young hearts kept time to a flowering melody, punctuated by cautious stops and starts, lovely point and counterpoint by the sea. A tasty dinner, Ye Olde King's Head, then home, as I recall (though old and grey), how on this journey, you were gently led, as we found heartfelt treasures on our way. It was like a gift given from above. Your first time was when I first fell in love.
