vim

i curled my toes in the still warm sand...sipped my '94 Grand Vin Latour from the bottle...a little early for the '94 but the moment justified it...we listened to the wind fed waves...some seals in the far off distance...and i pointed out what constellations i could....Ursa Minor...what i thought was Leo...what i was pretty sure was Virgo...Draco...Ophiuchus...Hercules...i held her in my arms...kissed her cheeks...her soft hair...i told her stories she couldn't possibly have understood... but she giggled and smiled all the same....she finally drifted off to sleep...to a lullaby of waves and silly stories...and we left the ocean and moon behind...i can't wait until she can say "daddy."
