The Sea
Born 1960, F, from San Antonio Texas, United StatesThe 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.
