The Dark Sea Kissed By the Radiant Moonbeams

It's awfully quite at the end of August, placid fireflies come out before the appearance of stars; how tender, how beautiful are the rolling waves in the dark sea kissed by the radiant moonbeams! Absorbed in deep thought, I welcome another evening of solitude with a peace that is more perplexing and intriguing than silence; calmness stupefies, even more than the serenity inside... do I need friends, if I have the company of the entire universe? Crystalline, clear water splashing and bubbling, reaching the spot where I am profoundly thinking, bringing a soothing feeling after a very hot afternoon... hoping not to lose the brilliance of the dotted moon! Tired mind, rest and refresh yourself at sunrise, detach yourself from the constant habit of searching and creating; release the worries and rest, let fantasy spice up your fabulous stories... thoughts that lead to pen, to finally become liberating! On the glistening rocks, owls hoot in hunger and start attacking their preys... the defenseless oysters try to get back into the salty water and be safe in the seaweeds, but they are caught by their claws, and with no strength left and blood in their eyes... they die and their carcasses will be ripped apart and consumed by the ravens! Stop! Enough of this ugly spectacle! Let me turn the eyes to something truly delightful; see the dark sea kissed by the radiant moonbeams to make this August' night really indelible! A ship, with its thousands lights reflecting in the steady flow of the waves, is approaching; the lighthouse's guard announces its arrival...oh, this scene is so fascinating!
