Inked By Night
"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar
... Samual Taylor Coleridge
Undulating ocean waves heave and sigh
with ebbing tides and ghostly gusts of wind.
And shades of indigo and sapphire blue
morph into liquid ebony at night.
As silent as cream, Luna's golden orb
rises, glowing softly in the night sky.
And moonbeams dance upon foamy whitecaps
that break upon the shallows with a roar.
Under a plethora of shining stars,
placid waters mirror the universe.
And its surface dappled with twinkling lights,
the ocean gleams like onyx inked by night.
As Venus rises like a virgin star
Mars blushes, adopting a crimson shade.
And the ocean sparkles like a blue gem
when Dawn's first light pierces the dark of night.
