Midnight Pearl
The ocean breeze was beckoning
the salt was on my tongue
I shed my clothes and jumped inside
just like when I was young
I swam out in the darkened sea
the moon provided light
It shone upon the rippled waves
and danced in silent night
Then something brushed against my toes
the touch was feather soft
And then I felt it once again
within the ocean waft
I dove inside and reached around
and found my midnight pearl
That night the sea bestowed a gift
I was the lucky girl
