Full Moon Beach
The pale lace of ocean foam
Breathes on moonlight shore,
Pearl clouds like soft dice are cast
On night sky’s black floor.
Wind rustles and bends the palms
To sea’s lullabies—
Night birds cry out like children
As summer now dies.
Yet, here summer never parts—
Always lingers green—
The smell of ripe mangoes stay—
Sunsets are gold sheen.
We linger still in unreal
Worlds and hesitate—
Seasons call us back somehow
To fulfill our fate.
Ocean moon is full this night—
We heed the call of waves—
Water brings us back to life—
The earth shall mark our graves.
