A Moonlit Seashore

The tides slowly rise and sink. Shoreline changes with the tide. Looking where sea meets the sky, The moon bathes the sea. Star trails above the shoreline Leading a pathway to me. A magical sight for sure Where sea meets the sky. Silhouettes of pelicans Playing in the wind currents, Diving for fish in the sea. I watch with delight. Wavelets ebb onto shore, Shimmering at my wet toes. Sea sounds whispering to me, Soothing my soul and mind.
