Arrival of Night

Huddled seagulls fearlessly, serenely
nap early ignoring calamity;
dark offers safety generously...
night arrives silently, mysteriously.  
This lighthouse's brilliance constantly
lures captains avoiding distraction,
but hastily captivated: ambition
and desire palpitate intensely. 


Entered in nette onclaud's contest,

Andrew, it's lovely to see you with a poem on the top of this list. congrats to you. I think I may have told you this once before, but the first time I came to Soup right before 2010, it was your WIN in an International Soup contest that I first read and I remember thinking, gosh, I want to be like THIS poet! You and others I read that day inspired me to strive to be a success here. Thanks for your poetic visions.
