STARS SPARKLING SATIN WATER
Standing with feet spread and arms opened wide,
I give myself to the beauty of this ocean night.
Though at a calm inlet’s entrance, my ears bear
witness to near crashing waves focusing their roll.
My solitude loves ocean sounds as favored music
while I absorb comfort from stars so brightly lucid.
Consolation is no illusion, night invites my intrusion,
calms my confusion and lifts all my cares on high.
In daylight, I hide, keep fears inside my weep
until the world sleeps and I may dare sneak
to the freedom of infinite sky and sea.
Placing my float upon the water, I then lay
face up, give way to the inlet to steer my coast
and to stars sparkling endless dreams evoked.
I dangle my fingers in the satin water ripple,
sigh as night upon water eases all of ill fashion
and natural darkness washes me with peace.
I am grateful to night for its water cradle,
for clear dark sky where angels sparkle stars
until all twinkles sigh signal away my fears.
Though I must depart the night’s embrace I lust
before the daylight begins its revealing start,
I stay prayerful for the night and water pattern
that stroke me with hope while afloat their passion.
