Ebb Tide -Hexastichon

The sun sets in tranquility and surrendered silence,
Majestic in all its beauty and magnificence.

The moon comes dutifully ushering the ebony gray,
Unfolding the usual repose of a departing short day.

Like this end we shall leave our life as those of us before
We find only sea waves are faithful... they return to the shore.

I like this, Cynthia. It's the cycle of life. A 7. Galing! Go Pinoy! Kim PS. Seems we do not have Hexastichon as option in PS forms.

Thank you Kim Patrice Nunez, yes hexastich or hexastichon is a poem with six lines and here I used couplets. Many short forms of poetry like the Naani is also not listed. That's ok -we can identify the writing with the title. ~~~Cynthia
