Worn By Night
Undulating ocean waves heave and sigh;
pulling tides tethered to a waning moon.
And shades of indigo and sapphire blue
dissolve into the ebony of Night.
As silent as cream: Luna's golden orb
rises, glowing softly in the Night sky.
And moonbeams dance upon foamy whitecaps
breaking upon the shallows, with a roar.
Under a plethora of shining stars,
placid waters mirror the universe.
And its surface, dappled with twinkling lights,
the ocean gleams, like onyx worn by Night.
When Venus rises as a virgin star,
Mars blushes: adopting a crimson shade.
And the ocean sparkles like a blue gem,
as Dawn's first light pierces the dark of Night.
