moonlight

Listen to poem:

Moonlight Teaches Shadows to Dance

moonlit beach
shadows flit furtive
tide recedes
waves curl up
dark fingers flick across sand
gambling with the sea

pale moonbeams
thread gold filaments
sewing trails
stitching lines
weaving form in shaken dreams
stirred, not yet awake

dawn appears
black waves surge closer
as tide turns
sleep departs
shadows slip 'n slide away
back into the sea
