The Sea presses

the shoreline.

 

I listen to

the languid waves

sweep onto the shore.

The water flows softly.

This is a sound that I love.

 

The birds glide

like a dream on the water.

With full bellies they

fly off to their

homes and babies.

 

The bright white

clouds give way

to pink, to pastels,

than to lavender.

The air cools.

 

The stars faint

at first, than

bright and immaculate

against the black of the night.

The sea reflects these brilliant

heavenly lights.

All is calm and smooth.

I drift off to a peaceful sleep.
