Moon Wave
MOON WAVE
Poseidon drew up from the salty sea,
a silver splash of wave from Earth to Moon.
High was the crest as it arced and fell free,
from the chilled night sky and onto the dune.
The sand danced ribbons across the shore,
it caught it's breath in the eye of a wave.
Then it rolled and thundered its silken score,
and dug a dune song in carving the cave.
From out of the dark and damp of the hole,
to slip past the shells and pools from the tide.
It oozed in white foam to swallow the knoll,
then pulled by the moon to start a new ride.
Full Moon in the night, it prowls like a cat,
to stalk the next swell, give rise, and fall flat.
