Poem Title:
Poem
The waves slide over the shore Leaving tiny, squiggly trails The moon and sun battle for the sky And the big, bright moon prevails. The beach is shrouded in darkness Dimmly lit by only one light That dances through the undertow Marching its way through the plight. A stencil of gray laces the sky Creating a vision of death Slowly overcoming the shore 'Til it takes its last breath. The ocean itself which had once held So much life in its depths Has become drowned in its own contents It is meeting its own death. A storm lashes its way Solmnly across the sky To make room for what will unleash That will cause the very moon to cry. Dancing and waltzing across the shore, The moon sadly turns away She can't bear to see her ocean like this And witness it going astray. With one, final, swift motion, She casts her love out to sea The love she held deeply for her ocean The world, and all her countries. She makes her way back to where she belongs And lets the sun take over the sky I didn't, in all my years, Think I would ever see the moon cry. But she shed those tears so bravely And dried them so nonchalant She turned and made her way back to the sky Like it was something she could never want. The moon had lost the battle And, defeated, began to fade away Then the sun began to dance, too To celebrate a brand-new day.
