I
love
walking
at midnight
as moonlight shadows
dance on the inky blue ocean
and watch as they sparkle and shimmer like tiny stars,
pirouetting gracefully like prima ballerinas with the ocean as their stage

This conjured up such a beautiful picture, Jan. I am not surprised that you were proud of it and congratulate you on its success. I'm sure that Brian would be delighted to 'air' it too on his fibonacci blog.
