Liquid Shadows

the moon in full bloom golden beams dance on water... gilded tides rising. Rolling waves of cobalt cascade ashore, subservient to time, and nothing more. The thunder of crashing breakers punctuates the deafening silence. And liquid shadows color the reef in gradient shades of ebony. Night steals the light, like a brazen thief, acting purely out of jealousy: darkness, its eternal destiny.
