The Supermoon and the Sea

THE SUPERMOON AND THE SEA
The crimson sun goes down slowly cold and wet At the gripping edge of the sea in the speckled sky The swelling waves carry overturned palette on crest The cloud layers blush in colors, in moist air they fly. The sky soon turns in gloom a void in shades of grey From where permeate the gleams of the falling dusk Disappear in the horizon making for the night the way To creep after the twilight with elements of the dark. On one such night in the winter standing by the sea I see the perigee moon appear low in all its grandeur The sparkling stars spread silver dust falling free on me The waves churn the supermoon streaks on breakers. The distant glimmer of the azure water deeply serene Enters my charmed mind, takes it to sea bottom still Drenched blue in moonshine I soak the bliss within The soothing touch of the divine orb I instantly feel.

Beautiful imagery and great title - it is surprising the word supermoon is not used more often. Exquisitely done and congrats, Subimal.
