Night Sea Masquerade

the moon takes on a new form
on water closing her mouth
their imposing other tides
she's a belle over the sea
her shadow bulges in waves
at night you never can tell
wringing audience, ringing


*edited the title after contest
"she" is not me for this subject matter

Brandy Nicole January 24, 2026 at 5:13 PM ' she's a belle over the sea. ' There's something magical about this thought. It is to me, anyway. You always paint such vivid images with your words. My best to you, Paige. Hugs, Brandy
