Shades of Marmalade

Evening drifting in on twilight's shade As sunset glimmers softly on the sea Shimmering in colors of marmalade And fading deep into its mystery Dusk enchants with spells of its sweet allure As restless waves await the mystic night Flowing relentlessly on a rocky shore As seagulls dot the sky in twilight's flight And in the darkness of the cryptic deep The ocean churns with raging sounds sublime And soon, it lulls the midnight moon to sleep As starlight twinkles a silvery chime When the moon awakens from its sweet dream The sea in morning light will surely gleam!
