Nautica
Nautica --By David Lustrup 2012
The moon kisses the sea
With a million points of light
Galaxies in motion
On your surface shine tonight
Your salty water,
An elixir of dreams,
Fluid flowing ether,
Through starlight's glowing beams
Delirium drops and hallucinations,
This gathering of fish, and the crabs, and crustaceans
And all of the beings that live down below,
Enchanted they sway to your ebb and your flow
Gracefully they dance in this briny masquerade
As phosphorescent shrimp light the seaweed promenade
Their gowns flow slowly like serpentine sails
As they dance in moonlight to the song of the whales
