Under the moonlight

A gentle cold breeze gusted,

across the sandy beach,

Lightning bugs scattered all over the sky,

The gibbous moonlight painted the space,

with a wispy magical glaze.

Golden beach altered, as shiny silvery coat,

Tealish drapes of sea glided smoothly,

To craft beautiful white pearls,

that crashed on the rock.

One by one, a blue creature

with its magnificent claws,

Returning from tiring voyage, as mighty warrior do.

Soon, an army of blue crabs,

marching into the land,

To reclaim and rule the property.

And i, stood aloof, I thought, escaping to sheltered home, few steps away.

But, curiosity trapped me there,

near a seawall.

A strange cord wrapped,

around my leg,

Panicked and checked,

To my relief, just a weathered coconut leaf.

As flock of crabs continue to reign,

Realised it's their time,

Stepped and faded away,

Into the darkness,

To my comfortable home.
