Time and Tide

TIME AND TIDE



Starlit world is still
Cooling from the day.
Waiting, nest-bound,  for the dawn,
Tweetling birds are silenced by the moon.


Lights are dimming o’er each window sill;
Boats are tied tight in low-tide bay:
And Mother Nature takes a yawn  -
Time for rising again will come soon.
