The call of seabirds echoes
their nests their sanctuary
As the moon rises
its radiance stretching to meet sea
With gentle, measured steps
it climbs to its lofty perch
Illuminating the world below
none daring to interrupt
/
Each buttonwood bloom
each aquatic plant
each winged creature
Remains silent and still
the world in slumber's peaceful feature
Only the vast, boundless sea remains
awake, serene and content
Swaying and smiling, its waves
with the wind's whispers blent
/
The waves, bathed in moonlight
roll softly towards the shore
Then vanish, their murmurs fading
their dance complete once more
As night deepens, the sea drifts off
lulled by the wind's refrain
a soothing lullaby, again and again
/
Under the bridge where water meets sky
The vast sea smiled contentedly
Clouds reflect the light of the moon
Waves quivering peacefully in dreams
The breeze, with its soft hands
weave the snoring of the sea
into a gentle meditation whisper
