~ coins tumble, silver …
shimmered brine pays the day’s debt
deep … a moon’s pockets ~
Her sort, A-trembly, wavy
Spurning all nets morn to eve
I still doubt, re-encountering;
Who first was hard to believe!
Fair things, fairest I suspect
Remain, and will ever so
In light, shyest; imaginary world's.
In fairy-flight's afterglow.
~ moonlit caps shimmer,
crests spilling silver doubloons ...
Neptune's coffers, full ~
.
As wheat is to chaff
so's a giggle to a laugh
Kiss deceptive Also receptive
I ain't saying it's abusive
But sometime make ya submissive
To that progressive Wave in the heart beat
Cold wet sand between my toes.
A mist in the breeze tickles my nose.
A gentle crash fills my ears.
A delicate silence calms my fears.
The waves tell a story of beauty and danger,
But you can only indulge if you don't be a stranger.
Listen carefully and you will find,
A story thats been told since the beginning of time.
