Midnight
Midnight’s ebony sky
over an ebony sea
a mirror reflection
is what I see.
White headed crescents
racing toward shore
collapsing against sand
with a thunderous roar.
As waves crash
in rhythmic breaks
my heart responds
at a faster pace.
On a moonless night
as I sit in wonder
of Mother ocean’s
wondrous power
the song of the tides
to a child of the sea
in silence and furor
beckons to me.
