She sang her loneliness into the night sky. The pain, the longing to be with another, welled up within her and escaped as sound, plaintive and tremulous. Wordless sound echoed off the water, rising and falling with the waves, mixing with the wind as it blew. More than a hum, less than a cry, she let the sound pour out of her, carrying with it her desire for connection, for love, for tenderness.

A lone fisherman, sleeping in his boat, his nets waiting for the first hint of light. The boat bobbed gently on the water, the sound of the waves splashing against it forming a counterpoint to her song. It seemed as though the waves themselves were pushing the boat toward her, offering the boat as a gift to her.
