Twilight Zone

In the zone between light and half light. 
White crested waves come crashing ashore. 
Like wild beasts escaping the water
with the sound of a distant jets's roar. 

A boat drags along the horizon
Running lights spilling off of its sides
Big fish under cover of darkness
Venture close on the incoming tide. 

To the West a tired sun is sinking
Slipping silently into the bay. 
In the East the North Star is winking  
as if saying goodbye to the day.

Thank you. The sea is intoxicating. Raging or calm it soothes.
